Abstract
Basic ergodic properties of the ELF class of automorphisms, i.e. of the class of ergodic automorphisms whose weak closure of measures supported on the graphs of iterates of $T$ consists of ergodic self-joinings are investigated. Disjointness of the ELF class with: 2-fold simple automorphisms, interval exchange transformations given by a special type permutations and time-one maps of measurable flows is discussed. All ergodic Poisson suspension automorphisms as well as dynamical systems determined by stationary ergodic symmetric $\alpha $-stable processes are shown to belong to the ELF class.
