Restricted orbit changes of ergodic ℤd-actions to achieve mixing and completely positive entropy

Abstract

AbstractWe show that for every ergodic ℤd-action T, there is a mixing ℤd-action S which is orbit equivalent to T via an orbit equivalence that is a weak a-equivalence for all a ≥ 1 and a strong b-equivalence for all b ∈ (0, 1). If T has positive entropy, then S can be taken to have completely positive entropy. If the dimension d is greater than one, the orbit equivalence may be taken to be bounded and a strong b-equivalence for all b > 0.
