Let $Sigma=s_1,dots,s_m$ be a finite list of symbols, and put $X=Sigma^mathbbZ$.



Consider the left two-sided shift $T:Xto X$ given by $T(x_n)=(x_n+1)$. Given an $m$-dimensional vector $vecp=(p_1,dots,p_m)$, we can construct a measure on $Sigma$ by $sum_i=1^m p_i delta_s_i$, which then generates an infinite product measure on $X$. Such a measure is called a Bernoulli shift, and is ergodic for $T$.



A measure is called aperiodic if set of periodic points has zero measure.

  • Hint: can you show that there are countably many periodic points in $X$? Now all you need to show is that the measure of any countable set is zero for the Bernoulli measure.

  • @DanRust any periodic sequence with a repeating an block of length n defines and periodic orbit. The set of all periodic sequences is countable.I can show that measure any countable set is zero but for Bernoulli measure,i do not know.

Let $(x_i)_i geq 1$ be a countable subset of $X$ and let $$B_i,k = x in X mid (x)_[-k,k] = (x_i)_[-k,k]$$ be the cylinder set of length $k$ which contains $x_i$.



Show that $$B(n) := bigcup_i=0^infty B_i,n2^i$$ is a nested sequences of subsets that contains every $x_i$ for any value of $n$ and then show that the measure of $B(n)$ converges to $0$ as $n$ increases. Hence, what must the measure of $x_i mid i geq 0$ be?
