Abstract

We study the weak closure LL of powers TkT^k of the non-singular Chacon transformation TT with 2-cuts. This is still an open question does LL contain any Markov operator except an orthogonal projector to the constants Θ\Theta and some polynomials P(T)P(T)? In this paper we calculate a particular set of limit polynomials Pm(T)=limnTmhnP_m(T) = \lim_{n \to \infty} T^{-mh_n}, where mm is a fixed integer number and hn=(3n1)/2h_n = (3^n-1)/2 are the sequence of heights of towers in a standard rank one representation of the Chacon map. We show that for any d2d \ge 2 the family of limit polynomials contains infinitely many distinct polynomials of degree dd. We also formulate hyposeses and open questions concerning the sequence PmP_m and the entire set LL.
