Abstract.
We consider mixing ℤd-actions on compact zero-dimensional abelian groups by automorphisms. Rigidity of invariant measures does not hold for such actions in general; we present conditions which force an invariant measure to be Haar measure on an affine subset. This is applied to isomorphism rigidity for such actions. We develop a theory of halfspace entropies which plays a similar role in the proof to that played by invariant foliations in the proof of rigidity for smooth actions.
