Weakly-wandering set
From Encyclopedia of Mathematics
for an invertible measurable transformation of a measurable space
A measurable subset for which there is an infinite sequence of integers such that the sets are mutually disjoint (here, invertibility of is understood to mean existence and measurability of ). If has a -finite quasi-invariant measure (defined on ), then a necessary and sufficient condition for to have a finite invariant measure equivalent to is that for any weakly-wandering set .
A word of warning. In topological dynamics there is a notion of weakly non-wandering point (see [3]) which has nothing to do with the notion defined above.
