Feb 8, 2020 at 1:27 comment added YCor Maybe my confusion comes from the possibility that $\beta C(X)$ might be non-closed. What my argument (if correct) proves is indeed that unique ergodicity means that the closure of $\beta C(X)$ is a hyperplane.
Feb 8, 2020 at 0:56 comment added Veridian Dynamics I see why my condition implies uniquely ergodicity, but not the converse. Actually, in arxiv.org/abs/1911.07700 the authors prove that some "S-adic systems of rank $K$" are such that $H^1$ has dimension $K$ as vector space, and I know that this kind of systems are uniquely ergodic. So, if I understood everything right, the converse is false.
Feb 7, 2020 at 14:33 comment added YCor Aren't you precisely asking which systems $(X,T)$ are uniquely ergodic? Uniquely ergodic means that the only positive invariant linear forms on $C(X)$ are positive scalar multiples of "taking the integral" with respect to a given invariant measure. So clearly your condition implies uniquely ergodic, but I was wondering whether the converse also holds. It seems so: if one has a invariant signed measure, its positive and negative mutually singular parts are invariant too. So if this is correct there is plethora of examples beyond irrational rotations.

Feb 7, 2020 at 13:37 comment added YCor Well, can you edit your question so as to present the setting. I have no idea if you work on the circle or more general spaces/ compact group, and which which restrictions on the homeomorphism. The $H^1$ you define works for an arbitrary self-homeomorphism of a compact space, then can be specified to rotations of the circle. (By the way, $H^1(X)=\mathbf{C}$ is not trivial, it's 1-dimensional. For more general group actions, the space of co-invariants might be 0-dimensional.)
Feb 7, 2020 at 13:36 comment added Veridian Dynamics My question is: if $(X,T)$ is a topological dynamical system such that $H^1(X)$ is trivial then, is $(X,T)$ conjugated in some sense to $(S^1,+\alpha)$, for some $\alpha$?
Feb 7, 2020 at 13:34 comment added Veridian Dynamics If $X = (G,\cdot a)$ is a group rotatation such that the orbit $\{a^n:n\in\mathbb{Z}\}$ is dense in $G$, isn't it $G$ minimal?
Feb 7, 2020 at 13:30 comment added YCor "other minimal group rotations"? but the minimal group rotations are precisely the irrational rotations. What is the question?
