Several questions and hypotheses concerning the limit polynomials for Chacon transformation

Abstract: We study the weak closure

L

of powers

T^{k}

of the non-singular Chacon transformation

T

with 2-cuts. This is still an open question does

L

contain any Markov operator except an orthogonal projector to the constants

T h e t a

and some polynomials

P (T)

? In this paper we calculate a particular set of limit polynomials

P_{m} (T) = l i m_{n o i n f t y} T^{- m h_{n}}

, where

m

is a fixed integer number and

h_{n} = (3^{n} - 1) / 2

are the sequence of heights of towers in a standard rank one representation of the Chacon map. We show that for any

d g e 2

the family of limit polynomials contains infinitely many distinct polynomials of degree

d

. We also formulate hyposeses and open questions concerning the sequence

P_{m}

and the entire set

L

.
