Abstract

It is shown that under fairly general conditions on a compact metric spaceY there are minimal homeomorphisms onZ×Y of the form(z,y)→(σz, h z (y)) where (Z, σ) is a arbitrary metric minimal flow andz→h z is a continuous map fromZ to the space of homeomorphisms ofY. Similar results are obtained for strict ergodicity, topolotical weak mixing and some relativized concepts.
