Odometer actions of the Heisenberg group

Abstract: Let

H_{3} (B b b R)

denote the 3-dimensional real Heisenberg group. Given a family of lattices

G a m m a_{1} s u p s e t G a m m a_{2} s u p s e t c d o t s

in it, let

T

stand for the associated uniquely ergodic

H_{3} (B b b R)

-{it odometer}, i.e. the inverse limit of the

H_{3} (B b b R)

-actions by rotations on the homogeneous spaces

H_{3} (B b b R) / G a m m a_{j}

,

j i n B b b N

. The decomposition of the underlying Koopman unitary representation of

H_{3} (B b b R)

into a countable direct sum of irreducible components is explicitly described. The ergodic 2-fold self-joinings of

T

are found. It is shown that in general, the

H_{3} (B b b R)

-odometers are neither isospectral nor spectrally determined.
