Abstract

We introduce computable actions of computable groups and prove the following versions of effective Birkhoff's ergodic theorem. Let Γ\Gamma be a computable amenable group, then there always exists a canonically computable tempered two-sided F{\o}lner sequence (Fn)n1(F_n)_{n \geq 1} in Γ\Gamma. For a computable, measure-preserving, ergodic action of Γ\Gamma on a Cantor space {0,1}N\{0,1\}^{\mathbb N} endowed with a computable probability measure μ\mu, it is shown that for every bounded lower semicomputable function ff on {0,1}N\{0,1\}^{\mathbb N} and for every Martin-L\"of random ω{0,1}N\omega \in \{0,1\}^{\mathbb N} the equality limn1FngFnf(gω)=fdμ \lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \frac{1}{|F_n|} \sum\limits_{g \in F_n} f(g \cdot \omega) = \int\limits f d \mu holds, where the averages are taken with respect to a canonically computable tempered two-sided F{\o}lner sequence (Fn)n1(F_n)_{n \geq 1}. We also prove the same identity for all lower semicomputable ff's in the special case when Γ\Gamma is a computable group of polynomial growth and Fn:=B(n)F_n:=\mathrm{B}(n) is the F{\o}lner sequence of balls around the neutral element of Γ\Gamma.
