We give a negative answer to a question put by Nadkarni: Let S be an ergodic, conservative and nonsingular automorphism on . Consider the associated unitary operators on given by and , where φ is a cocycle of modulus one. Does spectral isomorphism of these two operators imply that φ is a coboundary? To answer it negatively, we give an example which arises from an infinite measure-preserving transformation with countable Lebesgue spectrum.
