Abstract:
In 2007, S. V. Tikhonov introduced a complete metric on the space of mixing transformations. This metric generates a topology called the leash topology. Tikhonov posed the following problem: what conditions should be satisfied by a mixing transformation T for its conjugacy class to be dense in the space of mixing transformations equipped with the leash topology. We show the conjugacy class to be dense for every mixing transformation T. As a corollary, we find that a generic mixing transformation is rank 1.
