Minimal Interval Exchange Transformations with Many Ergodic Measures

-
Jon Fickenscher, Princeton University

We will give a brief survey of interval exchange transformations, especially results on minimality and unique ergodicity. In particular, we shall prove that a known upper bound on the number distinct ergodic probability measures for a minimal IETs is sharp. This is a generalization of known examples for IETs with order-reversing permutations.
