A $K$ counterexample machine





The goal of the author is to give a general method for constructing new \(K\)-automorphisms which are not Bernoulli, and to unify the theory of previously known examples. The author's examples are also shown to be loosely Bernoulli. The basic maps studied are constructed in the following way: first a \(K\)-automorphism \(K:(\Omega,{\mathcal F},\mu)\to (\Omega,{\mathcal F},\mu)\) is pre-constructed on a Lebesgue probability space. If \(V\) is a finite or countable set and \(\pi\) is a permutation of \(V\), then the maps under consideration are of the form \(S_\pi: \Omega^V\to \Omega^V\), \[ S_\pi(\omega_1, \omega_2,\dots)= (K(\omega_{\pi(1)}), K(\omega_{\pi(2)}),\dots). \] All \(S_\pi\) are shown to be loosely Bernoulli and \(S_\pi\) is isomorphic to \(S_{\pi'}\) if and only if \(\pi\) is conjugate to \(\pi'\). Using properties of similar constructions due to \textit{D. S. Ornstein} and \textit{P. C. Shields} [Adv. Math. 10, 63-88 (1973; Zbl 0251.28004)] and \textit{D. J. Rudolph} [J. Anal. Math. 35, 97-122 (1979; Zbl 0446.28018)], two transformations which are weakly isomorphic but not isomorphic are constructed, and also a \(K\)-automorphism having no roots.
