Abstract: We define a stronger property than unique ergodicity with respect to the fixed-point subalgebra previously investigated by Abadie and Dykema. Such a property is denoted as F-strict weak mixing (F stands for the Markov projection onto the fixed-point operator system). Then we show that the free shifts on the reduced C*-algebras of RD-groups, including the free group on infinitely many generators, and amalgamated free product C*-algebras, considered by Abadie and Dykema, are all strictly weak mixing and not merely uniquely ergodic.


For a unital completely positive (ucp) map \(T\) of a \(C^*\)-algebra \(\mathcal{A}\), let \(F\) be a ucp projector onto the fixed point space \(\text{Fix}(T)\). The system \((\mathcal{A},T)\) and \(T\) are called \(F\)-strictly weakly mixing if, for every state \(\psi\), \(\lim_nn^{-1}\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}| \psi\circ(T^k - F)(a)| = 0,\;a\in \mathcal{A}\). This implies \(F\)-unique ergodicity, adapted from the definition by \textit{B.\,Abadie} and \textit{K.\,Dykema} [(Preprint) (2006; arXiv:math/0608227)] for automorphisms, and reduces, for \(T\) with a unique invariant state, to strict weak mixing, recently studied by the second author and {S.\,Temir} [Rocky Mt.\ J.\ Math.\ 37, No.\,5, 1685--1703 (2007; arXiv:math/0510337)]. It is shown that various \( C^*\)-systems \((\mathcal{A},\alpha),\alpha\in \text{Aut}(\mathcal{A})\), classified by Abadie and Dykema as uniquely ergodic with respect to the fixed-point subalgebra, are strictly weakly mixing.
