Prikhod’ko, A. A.; Ryzhikov, V. V. Simple noncommutative counterexamples in the joining theory. (English. Russian original) Zbl 1028.28015 Mosc. Univ. Math.

Summary: Actions preserving a Haar measure and generated by automorphisms of a compact abelian group are considered and joinings of such systems are studied. In many problems of ergodic theory the study of the classes \(MSJ(n)\) of actions with minimal self-joinings of order \(n\) are of great interest. The authors present examples of noncommutative actions that belong to the classes \(MSJ(2)\setminus MSJ(3)\) and \(MSJ!(3)\setminus MSJ!(4)\), where \(MSJ!(n)\) is the class of actions having trivial joinings of order \(n\).
