Non-compact Abelian extensions of distal minimal flows

Gernot Greschonig, Vienna University of Technology, Austria
In this talk we discuss the structure of skew product extensions of distal minimal flows by Abelian locally compact non-compact groups. The simplest but most relevant case is of course the case of an \(\mathbb R^d\)-extension for \(d\geq 1\), and the main challenge in comparison to the case \(d=1\) is to get hands on the "dependence" of the different real coordinates of the extension.
