Extract

We are concerned with invertible transformations of the unit n-dimensional cube In, 2 ≤ n ≤ ∞, which preserve n-dimensional Lebesgue measure μ. Following Halmos [4], we denote the space of all such transformations by G = G(In), and the subset of G consisting of homeomorphisms by M = M(In). We ask to what extent, and in what sense, can we approximate an arbitrary transformation g in G by a homeomorphism h in M. New results are obtained in the course of presenting a new proof of the theorem of J. Oxtoby and H. E. White, Jr., stated below.
