A natural extension of a nonsingular endomorphism of a measure space (Q1360196)

This paper is devoted to a new and greatly improved proof of the following well-known theorem: Let \((X,B)\) be a Polish spaces, \(\nu\) a probability measure on \(B\), and \(S\) a non-singular endomorphism of \(X\). Then \(S\) admits a natural extension. The idea of a natural extension was introduced by Rokhlin in a famous paper, in which he also proved the theorem if \(S\) is measure-preserving. This result was extended by Silva to the non-singular case. The proof here is a very considerable simplification of Silva's proof. For definitions and bibliography, see the paper reviewed, which in addition to being significant itself, is very clearly written.
