Abstract:

This part deals with almost periodic and weakly mixing ${C^ \ast }$-flows, and with disjointness and weak disjointness of ${C^ \ast }$-flows (flows on ${C^ \ast }$-algebras). The main result is a generalization to ${C^ \ast }$-flows of Keynes and Robertson’s characterization of minimal weakly mixing flows. Examples are discussed exhibiting anomalous behaviour of disjointness in the ${C^ \ast }$-flow case.
