Abstract

We completely describe the weak closure of the powers of the Koopman operator associated with Chacon’s classical automorphism. We show that weak limits of these powers are the ortho-projector to constants and an explicit family of polynomials. As a consequence, we answer negatively the question of $\alpha $-weak mixing for Chacon’s automorphism.
