If a locally compact group G acts as a measure preserving transformation group on a Lebesgue space X, then there is a naturally induced unitary representation of G on L2(X), and one can study the action on X by means of this representation. The situation in which the representation has discrete spectrum (i.e., is the direct sum of finite dimensional representations) and the action is ergodic was examined by von Neumann and Halmos when G is the integers or the real line [7], and by Mackey for general non-abelian G [10].
