Abstract

Since their introduction by Furstenberg [3], joinings have proved a very powerful tool in ergodic theory. We present here some aspects of the use of joinings in the study of measurable dynamical systems, emphasizing

the links between the existence of a non trivial common factor and the existence of a joining which is not the product measure,
how joinings can be employed to provide elegant proofs of classical results,
how joinings are involved in important questions of ergodic theory, such as pointwise convergence or Rohlin's multiple mixing problem.
