Abstract: Let T_alpha denote the rotation T_{alpha}x=x+alpha (mod 1) by an irrational number alpha on the additive circle T=[0,1). Let �eta_1,..., �eta_d be dgeqslant 1 parameters in [0, 1). One of the goals of this paper is to describe the ergodic properties of the cocycle (taking values in R^(d+1)) generated over T_alpha by the vectorial function Psi_{d+1}(x):=(phi(x), phi(x+�eta_1),..., phi(x+�eta_d)), with phi(x)={x}-1/2. It was already proved in cite{LeMeNa03} that Psi_{2} is regular for alpha with bounded partial quotients. In the present paper we show that Psi_{2} is regular for any irrational alpha. For higher dimensions, we give sufficient conditions for regularity. While the case d=2 remains unsolved, for d=3 we provide examples of non-regular cocycles Psi_{4} for certain values of the parameters �eta_1,�eta_2,�eta_3. We also show that the problem of regularity for the cocycle Psi_{d+1} reduces to the regularity of the cocycles of the form Phi_{d} =(1_{[0, �eta_j]} - �eta_j)_{j= 1, ..., d} (taking values in R^d). Therefore, a large part of the paper is devoted to the classification problems of step functions with values in R^{d}.
