Ergodicity criteria for non-expanding transformations of 2-adic spheres (Q379710)

Ergodicity of non-expanding dynamical systems on the ring \(\mathbb{Z}_p\) of \(p\)-adic integers are well studied by many authors. For example, an ergodic criterion for the 1-Lipschitz systems using the van der Put coefficients was given the first author et al. [Dokl. Math. 83, No. 3, 306--308 (2011); translation from Dokl. Akad. Nauk 438, No. 2, 151--153 (2011; Zbl 1247.37007)]. However, similar results for the subspaces of \(\mathbb{Z}_p\) are not so much known.NEWLINENEWLINEThe authors use (and also develop) techniques and tools (e.g., van der Put series) from \(p\)-adic analysis to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for ergodicity of the class of all \(1\)-Lipschitz dynamical systems; however, on the 2-adic sphere only. As an application, the authors also obtain an ergodic criterion for perturbed monomial dynamical systems on \(2\)-adic spheres.
