DISPERSION PROPERTIES OF ERGODIC TRANSLATIONS STEFANO ISOLA Received 19 November 2005; Revised 23 January 2006; Accepted 25 January 2006 We consider irrational rotations of the circle Tx = x + α (mod 1) and study the asymptotic behavior of sums of the type Sn = n−1 πk with πk = ±1, the sign being determined by k =0 the location of Tkx with respect to a binary partition.

(1.1) The Lebesgue measure μ is obviously T-invariant. The subset of X given by {x + kα}k ∈Z is the (full) orbit of x under T. If α ∈ Q, say α = p/q , then all orbits are finite (with q points), whereas for α ∈ R \ Q all orbits are dense (the system is a minimal homeomorphism of X ) and μ is the unique (and thus ergodic) invariant measure. Let us consider the partition ζ = (A −, A+ ) of X into the half-open arcs A 1 1 + = x ∈ X : 0 ≤ x , A − = x ∈ X : ≤ x 1 . (1.2) 2 2 If the rotation angle α is irrational, then ζ is generating for T (see [4]) and the partition ζn = ζ ∨ Tζ ∨ ··· ∨ Tn−1ζ is made out of 2n arcs. This can be easily realized by induction: when passing from ζn−1 to ζn one has to add to the endpoints of the arcs belonging to n−1 n n ζ the two new points T (0) and T (1/ 2) (for rational α, say α = p/q , the partition ζn has precisely 2q arcs for all n ≥ q). Thus, the rotation is metrically isomorphic to the subshift given by the closure of π ([0,1)) where the coding map π : [0,1] → {−1,1}Z
