Starting from a uniquely ergodic action of a locally compact group G on a compact space $X_0$, we consider non-commutative skew-product extensions of the dynamics, on the crossed product $C(X_0)\rtimes _\alpha {\mathbb Z}$, through a $1$-cocycle of G in ${\mathbb T}$, with $\alpha $ commuting with the given dynamics. We first prove that any two such skew-product extensions are conjugate if and only if the corresponding cocycles are cohomologous. We then study unique ergodicity and unique ergodicity with respect to the fixed-point subalgebra by characterizing both in terms of the cocycle assigning the dynamics. The set of all invariant states is also determined: it is affinely homeomorphic with ${\mathcal P}({\mathbb T})$, the Borel probability measures on the one-dimensional torus ${\mathbb T}$, as long as the system is not uniquely ergodic. Finally, we show that unique ergodicity with respect to the fixed-point subalgebra of a skew-product extension amounts to the uniqueness of an invariant conditional expectation onto the fixed-point subalgebra.

We provide a systematic study of a non-commutative extension of the classical Anzai skew-product for the cartesian product of two copies of the unit circle to the non-commutative 2-tori. In particular, some relevant ergodic properties are proved for these quantum dynamical systems, extending the corresponding ones enjoyed by the classical Anzai skew-product. As an application, for a uniquely ergodic Anzai skew-product $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}$ on the non-commutative $2$ -torus $\mathbb{A}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}$ , $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\in \mathbb{R}$ , we investigate the pointwise limit, $\lim _{n\rightarrow +\infty }(1/n)\sum _{k=0}^{n-1}\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}^{-k}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F7}^{k}(x)$ , for $x\in \mathbb{A}_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D706}$ a point in the unit circle, and show that there are examples for which the limit does not exist, even in the weak topology.
