Abstract

We present a theory of self-joinings for semisimple maps and their group extensions which is a unification of the following three cases studied so far: (iii) Gaussian-Kronecker automorphisms: [Th], [Ju-Th]. (ii) MSJ and simple automorphisms: [Ru], [Ve], [Ju-Ru]. (iii) Group extension of discrete spectrum automorphisms: [Le-Me], [Le], [Me].
