Weak limits of powers of Chacon's automorphism

Dynamical Systems 2019-02-20 v1

Abstract

We completely describe the weak closure of the powers of the Koopman operator associated to Chacon's classical automorphism. We show that weak limits of these powers are the ortho-projector to constants and an explicit family of polynomials. As a consequence, we answer negatively the question of alpha-weak mixing for Chacon's automorphism.
