Abstract: Berend gives necessary and sufficient conditions on a $Z^r$-action $alpha$ on a torus $T^d$ by toral automorphisms in order for every orbit be either finite or dense. One of these conditions is that on every common eigendirection of the $Z^r$-action there is an element $mathbfnin{Z}^r$ so that $alph{a}^{m}athbfn$ expands this direction. In this paper, we investigate what happens when this condition is removed; more generally, we consider a partial orbit $alph{a}^{m}athbfn.x:mathbfninOmega$ where $Omega$ is a set of elements which acts approximately as the identity on a given set of eigendirections. This analysis is used in an essential way in the work of the author with E. Lindenstrauss classifying topological self-joinings of maximal $Z^r$-actions on tori for $rgeq3$.
