In ergodic theory, given sufficient conditions on the system, every weak mixing ℕ-action is strong mixing along a density one subset of ℕ. We ask if a similar statement holds in topological dynamics with density one replaced with thickness. We show that given sufficient initial conditions, a group action in topological dynamics is strong mixing on a thick subset of the group if and only if the system is k-transitive for all k, and conclude that an analogue of this statement from ergodic theory holds in topological dynamics when dealing with abelian groups.
