New Examples of Bernoulli Algebraic Actions

Dynamical Systems 2021-07-01 v2

Abstract

We give examples of principal algebraic actions of the noncommutative free group FF of rank two, as well as other groups, by automorphisms of a connected compact abelian group for which there is an explicit measurable isomorphism to a Bernoulli action of the group. The isomorphism is defined using homoclinic points, a method that has been used earlier to construct symbolic covers of algebraic actions. To our knowledge, these are the first nontrivial examples of the Bernoullicity of an algebraic action of FF.

13 pages. This update to our previous version generalizes our arguments to more acting groups and a more general class of principal actions. It also includes a different proof that the Bernoulli measure maps to Haar measure using a Fourier coefficient argument due to Ben Hayes
