Let \(T\) be a locally compact topological group and \(S\subset T\) a closed syndetic subgroup. Given an \(S\) flow \((X,S)\), one defines an action of \(S\) on \(X\times T\) by \(s(x,t)=(xs^{-1},st)\). Then the suspension of \( (X,S)\) is the compact Hausdorff space \(X\times _{S}T=(X\times T)/ \sim \) where \((x_{1},t_{1})\sim(x_{2},t_{2})\) iff \( s(x_{1},t_{1})=(x_{2},t_{2})\) for some \(s\in S\). If the equivalence class of \((x,t)\) is denoted by \([x,t]\), then the map \(([[x,t],t_{1}])=[x,tt_{1}]\) defines a continuous action of \(T\) on \(X\times _{S}T\). In the paper under review, the author considers the relationship between the flows \((X,S)\) and \(X\times _{S}T\). He characterizes the pointed \( T\)-flows which are the suspension of the \(S\)-flow \((X,S)\) and studies which dynamical properties of \((X,S)\) are preserved by its suspension \(X\times _{S}T\). Finally, the question of inheritance is dealt with; that is, which dynamical properties of a \(T\)-flow \((Z,T)\) are inherited by the \(S\) flow \((Z,S)\)? It is shown that the answers to these questions are closely related to the dynamical properties of the canonical action of \(S\) and \(T\) on the homogeneous space \(T/S\).
