Extension of Wiener-Wintner double recurrence theorem to polynomials

Dynamical Systems 2015-09-04 v2

Abstract

We extend our result on the convergence of double recurrence Wiener-Wintner averages to the case where we have a polynomial exponent. We will show that there exists a single set of full measure for which the averages 1Nn=1Nf1(Tanx)f2(Tbnx)ϕ(p(n)) \frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N f_1(T^{an}x)f_2(T^{bn}x)\phi(p(n)) converge for any polynomial pp with real coefficients, and any continuous function ϕ\phi from the torus to the set of complex numbers . We also show that if either function belongs to an orthogonal complement of an appropriate Host-Kra-Ziegler factor that depends on the degree of the polynomial pp, then the averages converge to zero uniformly for all polynomials. This paper combines the authors' previously announced work.
