Abstract: The Mackey-Zimmer theorem classifies ergodic group extensions $X$ of a measure-preserving system $Y$ by a compact group $K$, by showing that such extensions are isomorphic to a group skew-product $XequivYtime{s}_{h}oH$ for some closed subgroup $H$ of $K$. An analogous theorem is also available for ergodic homogeneous extensions $X$ of $Y$, namely that they are isomorphic to a homogeneous skew-product $Ytime{s}_{h}oH/M$. These theorems have many uses in ergodic theory, for instance playing a key role in the Host-Kra structural theory of characteristic factors of measure-preserving systems. The existing proofs of the Mackey-Zimmer theorem require various "countability", "separability", or "metrizability" hypotheses on the group $Gamma$ that acts on the system, the base space $Y$, and the group $K$ used to perform the extension. In this paper we generalize the Mackey-Zimmer theorem to "uncountable" settings in which these hypotheses are omitted, at the cost of making the notion of a measure-preserving system and a group extension more abstract. However, this abstraction is partially counteracted by the use of a "canonical model" for abstract measure-preserving systems developed in a companion paper. In subsequent work we will apply this theorem to also obtain uncountable versions of the Host-Kra structural theory.
