In the recent paper [AIM19], several results on the ergodicity and Krieger type of these actions were established when the underlying orthogonal representation $\\pi$ of $G$ is mixing. We develop new methods to prove ergodicity when $\\pi$ is only weakly mixing. We determine the type of $\\hat{\\alpha}$ in full generality. Using Cantor measures, we give examples of type III$_1$ ergodic Gaussian actions of $\\mathbb{Z}$ whose underlying representation is non mixing, and even has a Dirichlet measure as spectral type. We also provide very general ergodicity results for Gaussian skew product actions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-06-11T15:27:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "nonsingular gaussian actions", "mixing case", "gaussian skew product actions", "real hilbert space", "general ergodicity results" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
