A counter-example to Dye's theorem for all non-separable measure algebras (Q1065960): Difference between revisions

In 1959, H. Dye showed that any two ergodic measure-preserving automorphisms of a Lebesgue measure algebra are weakly equivalent. In this paper, we study weak equivalence, for ergodic measure-preserving automorphisms on non-separable measure algebras. It it shown that, in general, Dye's theorem does not hold, and in particular, it holds only on separable, i.e. Lebesgue, measure algebras.
