Abstract:

Given an ergodic transformation of a probability space and a real-valued function f one can ask whether the induced skew product is ergodic for the product measure. In this talk I will describe joint work with J. Chaika in which we prove almost all such skew products are ergodic when the base ergodic system is a linearly recurrent interval exchange transformation and f is a zero-mean step function.
