Streszczenie
We define a class of $ℤ^d$-actions, d ≥ 2, called product $ℤ^d$-actions. For every such action we find a connection between its spectrum and the spectra of automorphisms generating this action. We prove that for any subset A of the positive integers such that 1 ∈ A there exists a weakly mixing $ℤ^d$-action, d≥2, having A as the set of essential values of its multiplicity function. We also apply this class to construct an ergodic $ℤ^d$-action with Lebesgue component of multiplicity $2^d k$, where k is an arbitrary positive integer.
