| contents | Due to a result by Glasner and Downarowicz, it is known that a minimal system is mean equicontinuous if and only if it is an isomorphic extension of its maximal equicontinuous factor. The majority of known examples of this type are almost automorphic, that is, the factor map to the maximal equicontinuous factor is almost one-to-one. The only cases of isomorphic extensions which are not almost automorphic are again due to Glasner and Downarowicz, who in the same article provide a construction of such systems in a rather general topological setting.
Here, we use the Anosov-Katok method in order to provide an alternative route to such examples and to show that these may be realised as smooth skew product diffeomorphisms of the two-torus with an irrational rotation on the base. Moreover - and more importantly - a modification of the construction allows to ensure that lifts of these diffeomorphism to finite covering spaces provide novel examples of finite-to-one topomorphic extensions of irrational rotations. These are still strictly ergodic and share the same dynamical eigenvalues as the original system, but show an additional singular continuous component of the dynamical spectrum. |
