Abstract: For each {it well approximable} irrational

h e t a

, we provide an explicit rank-one construction of the

e^{2 p i i h e t a}

-rotation

R_{h} e t a

on the circle

B b b T

. This solves "almost surely" a problem by del Junco. For {it every} irrational

h e t a

, we construct explicitly a rank-one transformation with an eigenvalue

e^{2 p i i h e t a}

. For every irrational

h e t a

, two infinite

s i g m a

-finite invariant measures

m u_{h} e t a

and

m u_{h^{'} e t a}

on

B b b T

are constructed explicitly such that

(B b b T, m u_{h} e t a, R_{h} e t a)

is {it rigid} and of rank one and

(B b b T, m u_{h} e t a^{'}, R_{h} e t a)

is of {it zero type} and of rank one. The centralizer of the latter system consists of just the powers of

R_{h} e t a

. Some versions of the aforementioned results are proved under an extra condition on boundedness of the sequence of cuts in the rank-one construction.
