Abstract:

We give a characterization of sets $K$ of probability measures on a Cantor space $X$ with the property that there exists a minimal homeomorphism $g$ of $X$ such that the set of $g$-invariant probability measures on $X$ coincides with $K$. This extends theorems of Akin (corresponding to the case when $K$ is a singleton) and Dahl (when $K$ is finite-dimensional). Our argument is elementary and different from both Akin’s and Dahl’s.
