Rigidity times for weakly mixing dynamical system which are not rigidity times for any irrational rotation

Abstract

We construct an increasing sequence of natural numbers $(m_n{)}_{n=1}^{+\infty }$ with the property that $(m_nþ[1]{)}_{n\ge 1}$ is dense in $\T$ for any $þ\in \R\setminus \Q$, and a continuous measure on the circle $\mu$ such that $\lim_{n\to +\infty}\int_{\T}\|m_nθ\|dμ(θ)=0$. Moreover, for every fixed $k\in \mathbb{N}$, the set $\{n\in \mathbb{N}:k\nmid m_n\}$ is infinite. This is a sufficient condition for the existence of a rigid, weakly mixing dynamical system whose rigidity time is not a rigidity time for any system with a discrete part in its spectrum.
