Invariant Conditional Expectations and Unique Ergodicity for Anzai Skew-Products

Abstract

Anzai skew-products are shown to be uniquely ergodic with respect to the fixed-point subalgebra if and only if there is a unique conditional expectation onto such a subalgebra which is invariant under the dynamics. For the particular case of skew-products, this solves a question raised by B. Abadie and K. Dykema in the wider context of $C^{\ast }$-dynamical systems.
