We present here some aspects of the use of joinings in the study of measurable dynamical systems, emphasizing on - the links between the existence of a non trivial common factor and the existence of a joining which is not the product measure, - how joinings can be employed to provide elegant proofs of classical results, - how joinings are involved in important questions of ergodic theory, such as pointwise convergence or Rohlin's multiple mixing problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-12-22T09:27:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37A35" ], "keywords": [ "ergodic theory", "introduction", "non trivial common factor", "rohlins multiple mixing problem", "product measure" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math......7429D" } } }
