An uncountable Mackey-Zimmer theorem
• Mathematics
• 2020
The Mackey-Zimmer theorem classifies ergodic group extensions \$X\$ of a measure-preserving system \$Y\$ by a compact group \$K\$, by showing that such extensions are isomorphic to a group skew-product \$XExpand
Cocycles and continuity
The topic of this paper is the Mackey Cocycle Theorem: every Borel almost cocycle is equivalent to a Borel strict cocycle. This is a theorem about locally compact groups which is not true forExpand
ON A STRENGTHENING OF THE HERWIG – LASCAR EXTENSION THEOREM
The purpose of this note is to review and reorganize the proof of the Herwig–Lascar extension theorem, [2, Theorem 3.2], and to indicate how small additions to this proof can be used to obtain aExpand
An amenable equivalence relation is generated by a single transformation
• Mathematics
• 1981
We prove that for any amenable non-singular countable equivalence relation R ⊂ X × X , there exists a non-singular transformation T of X such that, up to a null set: It follows that any two CartanExpand
COHERENT EXTENSION OF PARTIAL AUTOMORPHISMS, FREE AMALGAMATION AND AUTOMORPHISM GROUPS
• Mathematics, Computer Science
• The Journal of Symbolic Logic
• 2020
Abstract We give strengthened versions of the Herwig–Lascar and Hodkinson–Otto extension theorems for partial automorphisms of finite structures. Such strengthenings yield several combinatorial andExpand
Orbit equivalence for Cantor minimal \$\mathbb{Z}^{2}\$-systems
• Mathematics
• 2008
We show that every minimal action of any finitely generated abelian group on the Cantor set is (topologically) orbit equivalent to an AF relation. As a consequence, this extends the classification upExpand
Espaces mesurés singuliers fortement ergodiques (Étude métrique–mesurée)
D'apres le theoreme de Jones-Schmidt, une relation d'equivalence ergodique est fortement ergodique si et seulement si elle ne possede pas de quotient moyennable non trivial. Nous donnons dans cetExpand
Quantized reduction as a tensor product
Symplectic reduction is reinterpreted as the composition of arrows in the category of integrable Poisson manifolds, whose arrows are isomorphism classes of dual pairs, with symplectic groupoids asExpand
Cocycles and the structure of ergodic group actions
We show, for a large class of groups, the existence of cocycles taking values in these groups and which define ergodic skew products. We apply this to prove a generalization of Ambrose’sExpand

On invariant measures
Given a measurable transformation on a measure space one can ask whether or not there is an equivalent measure that is invariant under the transformation. This problem is discussed very thoroughly inExpand
Unitary representations of group extensions. I
Let (~ be a separable locally compact group. Continuing the convent ion adopted in our papers [11] and [12] we shall abbreviate the term "cont inuous un i ta ry representat ion of (~" to "representatExpand

Introduction. In the past decade or so much work has been done toward extending the classical theory of finite dimensional representations of compact groups to a theory of (not necessarily finiteExpand
INDUCED REPRESENTATIONS OF LOCALLY COMPACT GROUPS I
In the theory of representations of a finite group by linear transformations the closely related notions of "imprimitivity" and of "induced representation" play a prominent role. In [18] the authorExpand
