On the rank of von Neumann special flows
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2017
Abstract
We prove that special flows over an ergodic rotation of the circle under a $C^{1}$ roof function with one discontinuity do not have local rank one. In particular, any such flow has infinite rank.
