Existence of a "universal" measure-preserving transformation on the unit interval

Let $I = [0,1]$ be the unit interval equipped with the Lebesgue measure $\lambda$. Let $\mathcal{M}$ be the set of all Lebesgue measure-preserving transformations $T: I \to I$. We say a transformation ...

Hartman uniform distribution of means

Background: for a discrete abelian group $G$, a character of $G$ is a homomorphism $\chi:G\to \mathbf S^1$, $\mathbf S^1$ being the circle group $\{z\in \mathbb C:|z|=1\}$ with ordinary multiplication....

Existence of a positive measurable set with disjoint preimage under iterated transformation

Let $(X,\mathcal B,\mu)$ be a atomless probability measure space and $T:X\to X$ be a non-singular transformation such that $\mu\left({x\in X: T^n(x)=x}\right)=0$ for every $n\ge 1$. Let $A\in \mathcal ...

Existence of the limit of periodic measures

Let $T: X \to X$ be a continuous map over a compact metric space. We say that a measure $\mu$ is $T$-invariant if $T_{\ast} \mu= \mu$. We denote by $M(X, T)$ the space of all $T$-invariant Borel ...

Krein Milman theorem without the axiom of choice

The Krein-Milman theorem asserts that in a locally convex topological vector space, a nonvoid compact convex subset is the closed convex envelope of its extreme points. But I would like to know when ...

Convex combination of positive mean-ergodic operators

Let $T_1,T_2:L^1([0,1],\mathrm{d}x)\to L^1([0,1],\mathrm{d}x)$ be positive mean-ergodic operators such that: For every $h:[0,1]\to \mathbb{R}_+$ we have that $$\int_0^1 T_1 h(x)\mathrm{d}x = \int_0^1 ...

Are all quasi-regular points on Polish spaces generic points?

Let $X$ be a Polish space and $T\colon X\to X$ be a continuous map. We say that a point $x\in X$ is quasi-regular if for every bounded continous function $\varphi\colon X\to\mathbb{R}$ the sequence $...

Almost periodic functions in weak mixing extension

In Theorem 3.4.6 of the 'Lecture notes on ergodic theory' by Jesse Peterson, it is shown that in a weak mixing extension, every almost periodic function is trivial. I have a doubt in the proof of this ...

Is there a term for a linear operator on an $L^p$ space that "locally respects boundedness"?

Let $X$ be a Polish space, and $\mu$ a locally finite measure. Take any $p \in \{0\} \cup [1,\infty)$. We will say that a linear operator $T \colon L^p(\mu) \to L^p(\mu)$ has property $(\ast)$ if ...

Riesz–Markov–Kakutani representation theorem for compact non-Hausdorff spaces

Let $X$ be a compact Hausdorff topological space, and $\mathcal C^0 (X) = \{f:X\to\mathbb{R}; \ f \text{ is continuous }\}$. It is well known that for any bounded linear functional $\phi: \mathcal C^...

"Strongly mutually singular" families of measures, and the set of ergodic measures

Let $(X,\Sigma)$ be a measurable space [which we can assume to be a standard Borel space if we wish]. Let $\mathcal{S}$ be a set of probability measures on $(X,\Sigma)$. [If we wish, we can assume ...

How to show that there's a continuous function separating convex sets of Radon measures?

First, the setup: $X$ is a compact set. By Riesz's representation theorem $C(X)^*=${all Radon measures on $X$}. $K$ is a convex, closed set of probability measures. $m$ is a probability measure out of ...

Furstenberg's Conjecture on 2-3-invariant continuous probability measures on the circle

Hillel Furstenberg conjectured that the only $2$-$3$-invariant probability measure on the circle without atoms is the Lebesgue measure. More precisely: Question: (Furstenberg) Let $\mu$ be a ...
