Abstract: | Given a free ergodic action of a discrete abelian group G on a measure space (X, μ), the crossed product L ∞ (X, μ)⋊ G contains two distinguished maximal abelian subalgebras. We discuss what kind of information about the action can be extracted from the positions of these two subalgebras inside the crossed product algebra.
