Ergodicity of skew products over symmetric interval exchange transformations
I will introduce certain class of infinite measure preserving dynamical systems, called skew products. In general, it is very difficult to study ergodic properties of such maps. One of the very few tools that we have, are so called essential values. After presenting this notion, I will focus on the main result that I obtained with Frank Trujillo, which says that for a typical symmetric interval exchange transformation, a skew product given by the indicator of the interval $(0,1/2)$ is ergodic.
