We construct an ergodic invertible transformation of a standard nonatomic probability space with zero Kolmogorov–Sinai entropy that has no smooth positive-volume model. More precisely, it is not measurably conjugate to any C ∞ diffeomorphism preserving a strictly positive smooth probability density on a compact finite-dimensional manifold. A single example excludes every finite dimension, including models on nonorientable manifolds and manifolds with smooth boundary.
