Abstract:
We define an infinite graded graph of ordered pairs and a canonical action
of the group $\mathbb{Z}$ (the adic action) and of the infinite sum of groups
of order two $\mathcal{D}=\sum_1^{\infty} \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ on the path space
of the graph. It is proved that these actions are universal for both groups
in the following sense: every ergodic action of these groups with invariant
measure and binomial generator, multiplied by a special action (the ‘odometer’),
is metrically isomorphic to the canonical adic action on the path space of the
graph with a central measure. We consider a series of related problems.
Keywords:graph of ordered pairs, universal action, adic transformation, scaled entropy.
