Product of two Kochergin flows with different exponents is not standard

Abstract

We study the standard(zero entropy loosely Bernoulli or loosely Kronecker) property for products of Kochergin smooth flows on $\mathbb{T}^2$ with one singularity. These flows can be represented as special flows over irrational rotations of the circle and under roof functions which are smooth on $\mathbb{T}^2\setminus \{0\}$ with a singularity at $0$. We show that there exists a full measure set $\mathscr{D}\subset\mathbb{T}$ such that the product system of two Kochergin flows with different power of singularities and rotations from $\mathscr{D}$ is not standard.
