Abstract

Let S be an ergodic measure-preserving automorphism on a nonatomic probability space, and let T be the time-one map of a topologically weak mixing suspension flow over an irreducible subshift of finite type under a Hölder ceiling function. We show that if the measure-theoretic entropy of S is strictly less than the topological entropy of T, then there exists an embedding of the measure-preserving automorphism into the suspension flow. As a corollary of this result and the symbolic dynamics for geodesic flows on compact surfaces of negative curvature developed by Bowen [5] and Ratner [31], we also obtain an embedding of the measure-preserving automorphism into a geodesic flow whenever the measure-theoretic entropy of S is strictly less than the topological entropy of the time-one map of the geodesic flow.
