Abstract

We investigate joinings of strongly irreducible totally non-symplectic Anosov {\mathbb Z}^k, k\ge 2 actions by toral automorphisms. We show that the existence of a non-trivial joining has strong implications for these actions, in particular, that the restrictions of the actions to a finite index subgroup of {\mathbb Z}^k are conjugate over {\mathbb Q}. We also obtain a description of the joining measures modulo the classification of zero entropy measures for the actions.
