Abstract

We consider measure-preserving diffeomorphisms of the torus with zero entropy. We prove that every ergodic C1-diffeomorphism with linear growth of the derivative is algebraically conjugate to a skew product of an irrational rotation on the circle and a circle C1-cocycle. We also show that for no positive β ≠ 1 does there exist an ergodic C2-diffeomorphism whose derivative has polynomial growth with degree β.
