Topological isomorphism for rank-1 systems

Abstract

We define the Polish space R\mathcal{R} of non-degenerate rank-1 systems. Each non-degenerate rank-1 system can be viewed as a measure-preserving transformation of an atomless, σ\sigma-finite measure space and as a homeomorphism of a Cantor space. We completely characterize when two non-degenerate rank-1 systems are topologically isomorphic. We also analyze the complexity of the topological isomorphism relation on R\mathcal{R}, showing that it is FσF_{\sigma} as a subset of R×R\mathcal{R} \times \mathcal{R} and bi-reducible to E0E_0. We also explicitly describe when a non-degenerate rank-1 system is topologically isomorphic to its inverse.
