Abstract: A {it uniformly $p$-to-one endomorphism} is a measure-preserving map with entropy log $p$ which is almost everywhere $p$-to-one and for which the conditional expectation of each preimage is precisely $1/p$. The {it standard} example of this is a one-sided $p$-shift with uniform i.i.d. Bernoulli measure. We give a characterization of those uniformly finite-to-one endomorphisms conjugate to this standard example by a condition on the past tree of names which is analogous to {it very weakly Bernoulli} or {it loosely Bernoulli.} As a consequence we show that a large class of isometric extensions of the standard example are conjugate to it.

Review text

Ornstein and Weiss introduced the notion of very weak Bernoulli as a criterion for proving that certain automorphisms are isomorphic to Bernoulli shifts. The situation for endomorphisms is more complicated. In this paper the authors introduce a concept called tree very weak Bernoulli which is useful for showing that certain endomorphisms are isomorphic to one-sided Bernoulli shifts. Using this criteria, they are able to show that a class of two-to-one endomorphisms, known as the \([T,\text{Id}]\) examples, are conjugate to the standard two-to-one endomorphism.
