Abstract
We extend and strengthen Hopf’s decomposition theorem for \(\sigma \)-finite measure spaces, and provide a purely constructive proof. From this investigation, the Poincaré recurrence theorem follows in the more general setting. We prove that this theorem holds for (the restriction of a given automorphism onto) the conservative part and may fail for the dissipative part of the respective Hopf decomposition of the measure space. Our method of proof allows to view the restriction of a given automorphism on the dissipative part as the so-called direct shift automorphism, whereas the restriction onto the conservative part admits various special representations linked with an arbitrary subset of positive measure.
