Abstract

Foreman and Weiss [Measure preserving diffeomorphisms of the torus are unclassifiable. Preprint, 2020, arXiv:1705.04414] obtained an anti-classification result for smooth ergodic diffeomorphisms, up to measure isomorphism, by using a functor $\mathcal {F}$ (see [Foreman and Weiss, From odometers to circular systems: a global structure theorem. J. Mod. Dyn.15 (2019), 345–423]) mapping odometer-based systems, $\mathcal {OB}$ , to circular systems, $\mathcal {CB}$ . This functor transfers the classification problem from $\mathcal {OB}$ to $\mathcal {CB}$ , and it preserves weakly mixing extensions, compact extensions, factor maps, the rank-one property, and certain types of isomorphisms. Thus it is natural to ask whether $\mathcal {F}$ preserves other dynamical properties. We show that $\mathcal {F}$ does not preserve the loosely Bernoulli property by providing positive and zero-entropy examples of loosely Bernoulli odometer-based systems whose corresponding circular systems are not loosely Bernoulli. We also construct a loosely Bernoulli circular system whose corresponding odometer-based system has zero entropy and is not loosely Bernoulli.

Footnotes

Dedication: We dedicate this paper to the memory of Anatole Katok. It utilizes two major contributions of Katok, namely the introduction of standard automorphisms (also called zero-entropy loosely Bernoulli) and his work together with D.V. Anosov on the construction of smooth ergodic diffeomorphisms on the disk.
