Weak mixing for interval exchange transformations and translation flows

Dynamical Systems 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We show that a typical interval exchange transformation is either weakly mixing or it is an irrational rotation. We also conclude that a typical translation flow on a surface of genus g2g \geq 2 (with prescribed singularity types) is weakly mixing.
