This is an earlier, but more general, version of "An L^1 Ergodic Theorem for Sparse Random Subsequences". We prove an L^1 ergodic theorem for averages defined by independent random selector variables, in a setting of general…

We introduce a new class of sparse sequences that are ergodic and pointwise universally $L^2$-good for ergodic averages. That is, sequences along which the ergodic averages converge almost surely to the projection to invariant functions.…

We provide a unified framework to proving pointwise convergence of sparse sequences, deterministic and random, at the $L^1(X)$ endpoint. Specifically, suppose that \[ a_n \in \{ \lfloor n^c \rfloor, \min\{ k : \sum_{j \leq k} X_j = n\} \}…

Examples are constructed of sparse subsequences of the integers for which the associated maximal averages operator is of weak type (1,1). A consequence, by transference, is that an almost everywhere L^1 -- type ergodic theorem holds for…

We study almost sure limiting behavior of extreme and intermediate order statistics arising from strictly stationary sequences. First, we provide sufficient dependence conditions under which these order statistics converges almost surely to…

A universally L^1 good sequence n_k is constructed with n_{k+1}-n_k tending to infinity. For ergodic transformations non-conventional ergodic averages of L^1 functions computed by using this sequence converge to the integral of the…

We show that any Littlewood--Paley square function $S$ satisfying a minimal local testing condition is dominated by a sparse form, \begin{equation*} \langle (Sf)^2,g \rangle\le C \sum_{I \in \mathscr{S}} \langle \lvert f\rvert\rangle_I^2…

In this paper, we derive asymptotic results for L^1-Wasserstein distance between the distribution function and the corresponding empirical distribution function of a stationary sequence. Next, we give some applications to dynamical systems…

Let $M$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra and $T$ a positive contraction on both $L^1(M)$ and $L^\infty(M)$. We consider ergodic averages along a random sparse subsequence determined by independent Bernoulli variables $(X_n)_{n\geq 1}$…

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…

We study correlation estimates of automatic sequences (that is, sequences computable by finite automata) with polynomial phases. As a consequence, we provide a new class of good weights for classical and polynomial ergodic theorems, not…

Let $a_n$ be the random increasing sequence of natural numbers which takes each value independently with decreasing probability of order $n^{-\alpha}$, $0 < \alpha < 1/2$. We prove that, almost surely, for every measure-preserving system…

We develop a framework for the study of the limiting behavior of multiple ergodic averages with commuting transformations when all iterates are given by the same sparse sequence; this enables us to partially resolve several longstanding…

In this note, we give sufficient conditions for the almost sure and the convergence in $\mathbb{L}^p$ of a $U$-statistic of order $m$ built on a strictly stationary but not necessarily ergodic sequence.

We provide an ergodic theory framework to study statistical properties of smooth sequences over the odd alphabet {1, 3}. The arithmetic nature of this alphabet yields a partition of the subshift of smooth sequences based on their local…

We prove ergodicity for random dynamics satisfying some expansion and irreducibility conditions. As a particular application, we show that if $R_1,R_2\in \mathrm{SO}(d+1)$, $d\ge 2$, generate a dense subgroup, then the random dynamics of…

Nonstandard ergodic averages can be defined for a measure-preserving action of a group on a probability space, as a natural extension of classical (nonstandard) ergodic averages. We extend the one-dimensional theory, obtaining L^1 pointwise…

We present a simple randomized procedure for the prediction of a binary sequence. The algorithm uses ideas from recent developments of the theory of the prediction of individual sequences. We show that if the sequence is a realization of a…

A sequence $(s_n)$ of integers is good for the mean ergodic theorem if for each invertible measure preserving system $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu,T)$ and any bounded measurable function $f$, the averages $ \frac1N \sum_{n=1}^N f(T^{s_n}x)$ converge…

We introduce sufficient conditions on discrete singular integral operators for their maximal truncations to satisfy a sparse bound. The latter imply a range of quantitative weighted inequalities, which are new. As an application, we prove…
