Do there exist measurable transformations which are recurrent over spaces of infinite measure?

40 Views Asked by At

I am trying to find a measurable space $(X, \mathcal{B})$, with measure $\mu$ such that $\mu(X)=\infty$, and with a corresponding measure preserving transformation $T:X\rightarrow X$ such that $T$ is recurrent over $X$. That is, $T$ is such that for all $B\in \mathcal{B}$, there exists infinitely many $n>0$ such that $T^{n}(B) \cap B \not= \emptyset$.

Does such a dynamical system exist? If so, can you provide example or reference? If no such system exists, is there a particular reason (ie. it is not possible, or one has not been found)?

Your question is related to, what is called, infinite ergodic theory. There are many interesting examples. An excellent reference to learn about this is the book of Jon Aaronson "An introduction to infinite ergodic theory"
