Abstract

In this paper, we study the pointwise convergence of centain continuous-time polynomial ergodic averages. Our approach is based on the topological models of measurable flows. One of the main results of this paper is as follows: Let aRa\in \mathbb{R}, QR[t]Q\in \mathbb{R}[t] with deg Q2\text{deg}\ Q\ge 2. Let (X,X,μ,(Tt)tR)(X,\mathcal{X},\mu, (T^{t})_{t\in \mathbb{R}}) and (X,X,μ,(St)tR)(X,\mathcal{X},\mu, (S^{t})_{t\in \mathbb{R}}) be two measurable flows. Then for any f1,f2,gL(μ)f_1, f_2, g\in L^{\infty}(\mu), the limit \begin{equation*} \lim\limits_{M\to\infty}\frac{1}{M}\int_{0}^{M}f_1(T^{t}x)f_2(T^{at}x)g(S^{Q(t)}x)dt \end{equation*} exists for μ\mu-a.e. xXx\in X. In particular, we are able to build a pointwise ergodic theorem involving geodesic flow and horocycle flow.
