By employing an accelerated weighting method, we establish arbitrary polynomial and exponential pointwise convergence for multiple ergodic averages under general balancing conditions in both discrete and continuous settings, including…

The Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem concludes that time averages, that is, Birkhoff averages, $\Sigma_{n=1}^N f(x_n)/N$ of a function $f$ along an ergodic trajectory $(x_n)$ of a function $T$ converges to the space average $\int f d\mu$, where…

We initiate the study of effective pointwise ergodic theorems in resource-bounded settings. Classically, the convergence of the ergodic averages for integrable functions can be arbitrarily slow. In contrast, we show that for a class of…

Given a convergence theorem in analysis, under very general conditions a model-theoretic compactness argument implies that there is a uniform bound on the rate of metastability. We illustrate with three examples from ergodic theory.

In this note we identify the distributional limits of non-negative, ergodic stationary processes, showing that all are possible. Consequences for infinite ergodic theory are also explored and new examples of distributionally stable- and…

We prove a purely Borel/measureless version of Dowker's ratio ergodic theorem, from which we derive a strengthening of Dowker's original theorem with a precise identification of the limit of local ergodic ratios. This is done by…

We consider the convergence of moving averages in the general setting of ergodic theory or stationary ergodic processes. We characterize when there is universal convergence of moving averages based on complete convergence to zero of the…

Consensus is a well-studied problem in distributed sensing, computation and control, yet deriving useful and easily computable bounds on the rate of convergence to consensus remains a challenge. This paper discusses the use of seminorms for…

We prove a quantitative result on norm convergence of cubic ergodic averages with respect to $d\geq 1$ commuting measure-preserving transformations. We use harmonic analysis techniques, a key tool being estimates for singular Brascamp-Lieb…

This brief pedagogical note re-proves a simple theorem on the convergence, in $L_2$ and in probability, of time averages of non-stationary time series to the mean of expectation values. The basic condition is that the sum of covariances…

Given a probability space $(X,\mu)$, a square integrable function $f$ on such space and a (unilateral or bilateral) shift operator $T$, we prove under suitable assumptions that the ergodic means $N^{-1}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1} T^nf$ converge…

We establish a generalization of Anush Tserunyan and Jenna Zomback's 2024 Backward Ergodic Theorem. We remove the countable-to-one assumption and thus provide a backward ergodic theorem for arbitrary measure-preserving transformations.…

The mean ergodic theorem is equivalent to the assertion that for every function K and every epsilon, there is an n with the property that the ergodic averages A_m f are stable to within epsilon on the interval [n,K(n)]. We show that even…

We will show that the sequences appearing in Bourgain's double recurrence result are good universal weights to the multiple recurrence averages with commuting measure-preserving transformations in norm. This will extend the pointwise…

In this note we present a proof of multiple recurrence for ergodic systems (and thereby of Szemer\'edi's theorem) being a mixture of three known proofs. It is based on a conditional version of the Jacobs-de Leeuw-Glicksberg decomposition…

We study deviation of ergodic averages for dynamical systems given by self-similar tilings on the plane and in higher dimensions. The main object of our paper is a special family of finitely-additive measures for our systems. An asymptotic…

Dynamical systems that are contracting on a subspace are said to be semicontracting. Semicontraction theory is a useful tool in the study of consensus algorithms and dynamical flow systems such as Markov chains. To develop a comprehensive…

We prove that for every $c\in(1,23/22)$, every probability space $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu)$ equipped with two commuting measure-preserving transformations $T,S\colon X\to X$ and every $f,g\in L^{\infty}_{\mu}(X)$ we have that the…

Semi-invertible multiplicative ergodic theorems establish the existence of an Oseledets splitting for cocycles of non-invertible linear operators (such as transfer operators) over an invertible base. Using a constructive approach, we…

This paper analyzes the ergodic hypothesis in the context of Boltzmann's late work in statistical mechanics, where Boltzmann lays the foundations for what is today known as the typicality account. I argue that, based on the concepts of…
