For any measure-preserving system $(X,{\mathcal{B}},\unicode[STIX]{x1D707},T_{1},\ldots ,T_{d})$ with no commutativity assumptions on the transformations $T_{i},$$1\leq i\leq d,$ we study the pointwise convergence of multiple ergodic averages with iterates of different growth coming from a large class of sublinear functions. This class properly contains important subclasses of Hardy field functions of order zero and of Fejér functions, i.e., tempered functions of order zero. We show that the convergence of the single average, via an invariant property, implies the convergence of the multiple one. We also provide examples of sublinear functions which are, in general, bad for convergence on arbitrary systems, but good for uniquely ergodic systems. The case where the fastest function is linear is addressed as well, and we provide, in all the cases, an explicit formula of the limit function.

AbstractWe study the limiting behavior of multiple ergodic averages involving several, not necessarily commuting, measure-preserving transformations. We work on two types of averages, one that uses iterates along combinatorial parallelepipeds, and another that uses iterates along shifted polynomials. We prove pointwise convergence in both cases, thus answering a question of I. Assani in the former case, and extending the results of B. Host and B. Kra, and A. Leibman in the latter case. Our argument is based on some elementary uniformity estimates of general bounded sequences, decomposition results in ergodic theory, and equidistribution results on nilmanifolds.

AbstractA sequence (sn) of integers is good for the mean ergodic theorem if for each invertible measure-preserving system (X,ℬ,μ,T) and any bounded measurable function f, the averages (1/N)∑ Nn=1f(Tsnx) converge in the L2(μ) norm. We construct a sequence (sn) which is good for the mean ergodic theorem but such that the sequence (s2n) is not. Furthermore, we show that for any set of bad exponents B, there is a sequence (sn) where (skn) is good for the mean ergodic theorem exactly when k is not in B. We then extend this result to multiple ergodic averages of the form (1/N)∑ Nn=1f1(Tsnx)f2(T2snx)⋯fℓ(Tℓsnx). We also prove a similar result for pointwise convergence of single ergodic averages.

Let $m\in \mathbb{N}$ and $\mathbf{X}=(X,{\mathcal{X}},\unicode[STIX]{x1D707},(T_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}})_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\in \mathbb{R}^{m}})$ be a measure-preserving system with an $\mathbb{R}^{m}$-action. We say that a Borel measure $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$ on $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ is weakly equidistributed for $\mathbf{X}$ if there exists $A\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ of density 1 such that, for all $f\in L^{\infty }(\unicode[STIX]{x1D707})$, we have $$\begin{eqnarray}\lim _{t\in A,t\rightarrow \infty }\int _{\mathbb{R}^{m}}f(T_{t\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}x)\,d\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC})=\int _{X}f\,d\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}\end{eqnarray}$$ for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$-almost every $x\in X$. Let $W(\mathbf{X})$ denote the collection of all $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\in \mathbb{R}^{m}$ such that the $\mathbb{R}$-action $(T_{t\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}})_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$ is not ergodic. Under the assumption of the pointwise convergence of the double Birkhoff ergodic average, we show that a Borel measure $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$ on $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ is weakly equidistributed for an ergodic system $\mathbf{X}$ if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}(W(\mathbf{X})+\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD})=0$ for every $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}\in \mathbb{R}^{m}$. Under the same assumption, we also show that $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$ is weakly equidistributed for all ergodic measure-preserving systems with $\mathbb{R}^{m}$-actions if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}(\ell )=0$ for all hyperplanes $\ell$ of $\mathbb{R}^{m}$. Unlike many equidistribution results in literature whose proofs use methods from harmonic analysis, our results adopt a purely ergodic-theoretic approach.

In this paper, we establish a non-commutative analogue of Calderón’s transference principle, which allows us to deduce the non-commutative maximal ergodic inequalities from the special case—operator-valued maximal inequalities. As applications, we deduce the non-commutative Stein–Calderón maximal ergodic inequality and the dimension-free estimates of the non-commutative Wiener maximal ergodic inequality over Euclidean spaces. We also show the corresponding individual ergodic theorems. To show Wiener’s pointwise ergodic theorem, following a somewhat standard way we construct a dense subset on which pointwise convergence holds. To show Jones’ pointwise ergodic theorem, we use again the transference principle together with the Littlewood–Paley method, which is different from Jones’ original variational method that is still unavailable in the non-commutative setting.
