Abstract
In this paper, we construct an example of aC 1 expanding map of the circle which preserves Lebesgue measure such that the system is ergodic, but not weak-mixing. This contrasts with the case ofC 1+ε maps, where any such map preserving Lebesgue measure has a Bernoulli natural extension and hence is weak-mixing.
