We prove pointwise convergence, as $N\to \infty$, for the multiple ergodic averages $\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N f(T^nx)\cdot g(S^{a_n}x)$, where $T$ and $S$ are commuting measure preserving transformations, and $a_n$ is a random version of the…

Let $ \text{Mod}(S_g)$ denote the mapping class group of the closed orientable surface $S_g$ of genus $g\geq 2$, and let $f\in \text{Mod}(S_g)$ be of finite order. We give an inductive procedure to construct an explicit hyperbolic structure…

Given a uniformly expanding transitive Markov interval map, we show that within the set of ergodic measures the set of nonadapted ergodic measures is residual in with respect to the topology induced by the $\overline{d}$-metric. This set of…

In this paper we show that the natural action of the symmetric group acting on the product space $\{0, 1 \}^{\mathbb{N}} $ endowed with a symmetric measure is approximately transitive. We also extend the result to a larger class of…

In the variational approach to statistical mechanics, equilibrium states are the rigorous analogues of thermodynamic phases; the question of which invariant measures can arise as equilibrium states is therefore the question of which phases…

Let $G$ be a countable branch group of automorphisms of a spherically homogeneous rooted tree. Under some assumption on finitarity of $G$, we construct, for each sequence $\omega\in\{0,1\}^\Bbb N$, an irreducible unitary representation…

We give a solution to the inverse problem (given a function, find a corresponding group) for large classes of speed, entropy, isoperimetric profile, return probability and $L_p$-compression functions of finitely generated groups of…

We present: 1) a mixing $Z ^ 2$-action with the following asymmetry of multiple mixing property: for some commuting measure-preserving transformations $S$, $T$ and a sequence $n_j$ $$ \lim_{j\to \infty}\mu(A\bigcap S^{-n_j}A\bigcap…

In this paper, for a discontinuous skew-product transformation with the integrable observation function, we obtain uniform ergodic theorem and semi-uniform ergodic theorem. The main assumptions are that discontinuity sets of transformation…

Let $\rm{Mod(S)}$ be the mapping class group of a closed orientable surface $S$ of genus $g \geq 2$. Let $G$ be a non-elementary subgroup of $\rm{Mod(S)}$ so that the associated Bowen-Margulis measure is finite. In this paper, we give an…

We strengthen the maximal ergodic theorem for actions of groups of polynomial growth to a form involving jump quantity, which is the sharpest result among the family of variational or maximal ergodic theorems. As a consequence, we deduce in…

This paper concerns singular perturbation problems where the dynamics of the fast variable evolve in the whole space according to an operator whose infinitesimal generator is formed by a Grushin type second order part and a…

We construct p.m.p. group actions that are not local-global limits of sequences of finite graphs. Moreover, they do not weakly contain any sequence of finite labeled graphs. Our methods are based on the study of almost automorphisms of…

Let $S$ be a subset of a amenable group $G$ such that $e\in S$ and $S^{-1}=S$. The main result of the paper states that if the Cayley graph of $G$ with respect to $S$ has a certain combinatorial property, then every positive definite…

A K3 surface $X$ over a $p$-adic field $K$ is said to have good reduction if it admits a proper smooth model over the ring of integers of $K$. Assuming this, we say that a subgroup $G$ of $\mathrm{Aut}(X)$ is extendable if $X$ admits a…

Let T be the Pascal-adic transformation. For any measurable function g, we consider the corrections to the ergodic theorem sum_{k=0}^{j-1} g(T^k x) - j/l sum_{k=0}^{l-1} g(T^k x). When seen as graphs of functions defined on {0,...,l-1}, we…

Ergodic and combinatorial results obtained in [10] involved measure preserving actions of the affine group ${\mathcal A}_K$ of a countable field $K$. In this paper we develop a new approach based on ultrafilter limits which allows one to…

Let $G= N\rtimes H$ be a locally compact group which is a semi-direct product of a closed normal subgroup $N$ and a closed subgroup $H.$ The Bohr compactification ${\rm Bohr}(G)$ and the profinite completion ${\rm Prof}(G)$ of $G$ are,…

We study the space of ergodic measures of the map $$f:\mathbb{T}^2\to \mathbb{T}^2, \ f(x, y)=(x, \ x+y)(\text{mod}\, 1),$$ and show that its structure is similar to the graph of Thomae's function.

We show that if $(X,\mathcal{X},\mu,S,T)$ is an ergodic measure preserving system with commuting transformations $S$ and $T$, then the average \[\frac{1}{N^3} \sum_{i,j,k=0}^{N-1} f_0(S^j T^k x) f_1 (S^{i+j} T^k x) f_2 (S^j T^{i+k} x)\]…
