Abstract

Exchange transformations have emerged as an essential object of study in the theory of dynamical systems and ergodic theory. These theories arise in studying flat metrics, measurable foliations, and polygonal billiards. It is observed that any exchange transformation has an invariant Lebesgue measure, coinciding with the standard measure on the interval or the circle. Several aspects associated with the existence of ergodic interval exchange transformations, with flips on the interval are also explained. The definition of an exchange transformation needs to be modified in the presence of flips, to ensure its single-value at the discontinuity points.
