Extending a result of Livsic [10] it is proved that the coboundary equation f(Tx)−f(x) = g(x) admits a C solution f for Cg when T is an ergodic toral endomorphism and g sums to zero over every periodic orbit. The same statement is false with C1 in place of C, in contrast to the Livsic (hyperbolic) theorem. In one dimension the ‘Lip α’ case leads to questions relating to the generalized Riemann hypothesis.
