Abstract

We consider weighted ergodic averages indexed by primes, where the weight depends on the prime, and is a "trace function" coming from algebraic geometry. We obtain extensions the classical mean-ergodic and pointwise ergodic theorems, as well as some result in the topological setting, and raise some further problems.
