Given a transformation \(T\) of a measure space \((X, \mu)\) isomorphic to the unit interval with Lebesgue measure, an \(L^\infty\) eigenvalue is a complex number \(\lambda\) such that \(h(Tx)=\lambda h(x)\) a.e. for some nontrivial function \(h \in L^\infty\). Observe that, since the \(L^\infty\) norms of \(h\) and \(h \circ T\) are equal, all \(L^\infty\) eigenvalues must have modulus 1. It is known [\textit{J. Aaronson, M. Lin} and \textit{B. Weiss}, Isr. J. Math. 33, 198-224 (1979; Zbl 0438.28018)] that the weak mixing property for nonsingular transformations is equivalent to the continuity of the \(L^\infty\) spectrum. The authors construct several examples of an infinite measure preserving rank-one transformation with some unusual properties. In the first example the transformation has a continuous \(L^\infty\) spectrum but nonergodic cartesian square. Notice that in the case of a finite measure preserving transformation, continuous spectrum is equivalent to ergodic cartesian square. Another example deals with the ergodicity of all \(k\)-fold cartesian products of the transformation under consideration, but the nonconservativity of the two-fold product. Infinite measure preserving cutting and stacking constructions are discussed as well.
