Abstract
We generalise the structure theorem for topologically recurrent real skew product extensions of distal minimal compact metric flows in [9] to a class of point distal minimal compact metric flows. While the general case of a point distal flow according to the Veech structure theorem seems hopeless, we prove a result for cocycles of minimal point distal flows without strong Li-Yorke pairs which can be obtained by an almost 1-1 extension of a distal flow with connected fibres. Moreover, a stronger condition on recurrence is necessary. We shall assume that every non-distal point in the point distal compact metric flow is proximal to a point which lifts to recurrent points in the skew product. However, we shall prove that the usual notion of topological recurrence is sufficient for locally connected almost 1-1 extensions of an isometry. This setting includes a well-known example of a point-distal flow by Mary Rees.
