Abstract
We consider measure-preserving diffeomorphisms of the torus with zero entropy. We prove that every ergodic -diffeomorphism with linear growth of the derivative is algebraically conjugate to a skew product of an irrational rotation on the circle and a circle -cocycle. We also show that for no positive β ≠ 1 does there exist an ergodic -diffeomorphism whose derivative has polynomial growth with degree β.
