Audit review
The paper proves Theorem 1 rigorously: the “⇒” direction passes to an ergodic time‑t map, uses the discrete‑time characterization to obtain a full‑measure set H with ρFK(x,y)=0, and then lifts to the flow via Proposition 3.17; the “⇐” direction uses Ratner’s criterion with a careful reduction to essentially open partitions, Birkhoff/Egorov uniformization, and a comparison lemma to conclude e(Φ,u)=0, hence loosely Kronecker. By contrast, the model’s “⇒” step incorrectly infers that the Ratner criterion yields matchings for µ×µ-almost every pair (x,y), then applies a saturation argument; this Fubini-style leap is not justified. The model’s “⇐” step is directionally right but omits key uniformization and partition-density details that the paper supplies.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} no revision \textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid \textbf{Justification:} The paper’s main theorem is established with clear structure: a precise FK framework for flows, a clean reduction to the discrete-time characterization for the forward implication, and a careful Ratner-based argument with a robust partition comparison for the converse. The logical dependencies are standard and properly cited, and the steps that require uniformization are handled carefully. Exposition is organized and accessible to specialists in ergodic theory of flows.
