We study mixing properties of epimorphisms of a compact connected finite‐dimensional abelian group X. In particular, we show that a set F, with |F| > dim X, of epimorphisms of X is mixing if and only if every subset of F of cardinality (dim X) + 1 is mixing. We also construct examples of free non‐abelian groups of automorphisms of tori which are mixing, but not mixing of order 3, and show that, under some irreducibility assumptions, ergodic groups of automorphisms contain mixing subgroups and…

Distal actions and ergodic actions on compact groups
Let K be a compact metrizable group and Γ be a group of automorphisms of K. We first show that each α ∈ Γi s distal on K implies Γ itself is distal on K, a local to global correspondence pro- vided Γ…

Abstract Let K be a compact metrizable group and Γ be a finitely generated group of commuting automorphisms of K. We show that ergodicity of Γ implies Γ contains ergodic automorphisms if center of…
