Bernoulli-type behavior in random dynamical systems.

Abstract. This is a joint work with A. del Junco. Consider a measure-preserving transformation of a probability space. A finite partition of the space is called weakly independent if there are infinitely many images of this partition under powers of the transformation that are jointly independent. Krengel proved that a transformation is weakly mixing if and only if weakly independent partitions of the underlying space are dense among all finite partitions. Using the tools developed in the previous papers of del Junco - Reinhold - Weiss and del Junco - Begun we obtain Krengel-type result for weakly mixing random dynamical systems (or equivalently, skew products that are relatively weakly mixing).
