Abstract
The authors prove that in the space of nonsingular transformations of a Lebesgue probability space the type III1 ergodic transformations form a denseG δ set with respect to the coarse topology. They also prove that for any locally compact second countable abelian groupH, and any ergodic type III transformationT, it is generic in the space ofH-valued cocycles for the integer action given byT that the skew product ofT with the cocycle is orbit equivalent toT. Similar results are given for ergodic measure-preserving transformations as well.
