Abstract

We consider special flows over the rotation on the circle by an irrational α\alpha under roof functions of bounded variation. The roof functions, in the Lebesgue decomposition, are assumed to have a continuous singular part coming from a quasi-similar Cantor set (including the Devil's staircase case). Moreover, a finite number of discontinuities is allowed. Assuming that α\alpha has bounded partial quotients, we prove that all such flows are weakly mixing and enjoy weak Ratner's property. Moreover, we provide a sufficient condition for the roof function to obtain a stability of the cocycle Ratner's property for the resulting special flow.
