Ergodic properties of the Anzai skew-product for the noncommutative torus

We provide a systematic study of a noncommutative extension of the classical Anzai skew-product for the cartesian product of two copies of the unit circle to the noncommutative 2-tori. In particular, some relevant ergodic properties are proved for these quantum dynamical systems, extending the corresponding ones enjoyed by the classical Anzai skew-product. As an application, for a uniquely ergodic Anzai skew-product $F$ on the noncommutative $2$-torus $ba_a$, $ainbr$, we investigate the pointwise limit, $lim_{nto+infty}frac1{n}sum_{k=0}^{n-1}l^{-k}F^k(x)$, for $xinba_a$ and $l$ a point in the unit circle, and show that there exist examples for which the limit does not exist even in the weak topology.
