Abstract

Let us study the problem of conjugation from the measure-theoretic viewpoint. Consider two measure-preserving dynamical systems given by a map T 1: X 1 → X 1 preserving a measure μ 1 and a map T 2: X 2 → X 2 preserving a measure μ 2.

The sun comes up just about as often as it goes down, in the long run, but this doesn’t make its motion random. D. Knuth
