Abstract

We construct an increasing sequence of natural numbers (mn)n=1+(m_n)_{n=1}^{+\infty} with the property that (mnth[1])n1(m_n \th [1])_{n\geq 1} is dense in \T\T for any thR\Q\th \in \R\setminus \Q, and a continuous measure on the circle μ\mu such that limn+\Tmnθdμ(θ)=0\lim_{n\to +\infty}\int_{\T}\|m_n\theta\|d\mu(\theta)=0. Moreover, for every fixed kNk\in \N, the set {nN:kmn}\{n\in \N:\,k\nmid m_n \} is infinite. This is a sufficient condition for the existence of a rigid, weakly mixing dynamical system whose rigidity time is not a rigidity time for any system with a discrete part in its spectrum.
