Abstract

We investigate actions of locally compact Abelian (LCA) groups on the torus Tn\mathbb{T}^n, motivated by their close connection with Diophantine approximation. While Kronecker's theorem yields a classical density result, we prove a stronger equidistribution theorem of Weyl type: every such action admits a decomposition into uniquely ergodic subsystems. The proof of this result is based on a characterization of unique ergodicity for actions of amenable groups on compact metric spaces. As consequences, we establish several foundational results for LCA groups, including the Bohr orthogonality of characters along arbitrary Folner sequences, a Bohr mean formula for almost periodic functions, and a Wiener-type theorem on LCA groups characterizing the discrete part of a Borel probability measure through its Fourier transform.
