Publication Date

Abstract

In this paper we study ergodic and mixing properties of transformations. Stacking methods are employed to construct the transformations used in this paper. Number theoretical methods are developed and used to study mixing properties. Two new mixing properties B-mixing and S-mixing are defined, and are shown to be between partial mixing and weak mixing. Finally a transformation is constructed which is weak mixing but not S-mixing, and hence not partially mixing. Several applications to additive number theory are given.
