Abstract

Here we give conditions on a class of functions defining skew product extensions of irrational rotations on T which ensure ergodicity. These results produce extensions of the work done by P. Hellekalek and G. Larcher [HL1] and [HL2] to the larger class of functions which are piecewise absolutely continuous, have zero integral and have a derivative which is Riemann integrable with a non-zero integral. �� 1990 The Weizmann Science Press of Israel.
