We state and prove a quantitative inverse theorem for the Gowers uniformity norm $U^3(G)$ on an arbitrary finite abelian group $G$; the cases when $G$ was of odd order or a vector space over ${\mathbf F}_2$ had previously been established…
For strictly ergodic systems, we introduce the class of CF-Nil($k$) systems: systems for which the maximal measurable and maximal topological $k$-step pronilfactors coincide as measure-preserving systems. Weiss' theorem implies that such…
We consider random fields indexed by finite subsets of an amenable discrete group, taking values in the Banach-space of bounded right-continuous functions. The field is assumed to be equivariant, local, coordinate-wise monotone, and almost…
This expository note presents a constructive proof of Wigner's theorem using only a few basic facts about Hilbert spaces, such as the existence of orthonormal bases and the Fourier decomposition of a vector. Our proof is based on a proof by…
Recent developments in ergodic theory, additive combinatorics, higher order Fourier analysis and number theory give a central role to a class of algebraic structures called nilmanifolds. In the present paper we continue a program started by…
We examine the limiting behavior of multiple ergodic averages associated with arithmetic progressions whose differences are elements of a fixed integer sequence. For each $\ell$, we give necessary and sufficient conditions under which…
The well-known Jewett-Krieger's Theorem states that each ergodic system has a strictly ergodic model. Strengthening the model by requiring that it is strictly ergodic under some group actions, and building the connection of the new model…
For a von Neumann algebra $\cal M$ with a faithful normal tracial state $\tau$ and a positive ergodic homomorphism $\alpha:\mathcal L^1(\mathcal M,\tau)\to \mathcal L^1(\mathcal M,\tau)$ such that $\alpha$ does not increase the norm in…
We find new simple conditions for support of a discrete measure on Euclidean space to be a finite union of translated lattices. The arguments are based on a local analog of Wiener's Theorem on absolutely convergent trigonometric series and…
In 1993, E. Lesigne proved a polynomial extension of the Wiener-Wintner ergodic theorem and asked two questions: does this result have a uniform counterpart and can an assumption of total ergodicity be replaced by ergodicity? The purpose of…
The Quantum Ergodic Conjecture equates the Wigner function for a typical eigenstate of a classically chaotic Hamiltonian with a delta-function on the energy shell. This ensures the evaluation of classical ergodic expectations of simple…
We prove the following Return Times Theorem along the sequence of prime times, the first extension of the Return Times Theorem to arithmetic sequences: For every probability space, $(\Omega,\nu)$, equipped with a measure-preserving…
In \cite{BNT}, a framework to prove almost sure central limit theorems for sequences $(G_n)$ belonging to the Wiener space was developed, with a particular emphasis of the case where $G_n$ takes the form of a multiple Wiener-It\^o integral…
This paper proves universality of the distribution of the smallest and largest gaps between eigenvalues of generalized Wigner matrices, under some smoothness assumption for the density of the entries. The proof relies on the Erd{\H…
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…
This article shortly provides related proofs of the ergodic theorems of von Neumann, Birkhoff, Wiener, and Rokhlin's lemma for $Z^d$-actions with an invariant measure. It is shown how some deviations of ergodic averages can be structured.…
We show that the fluctuations of the largest eigenvalue of a real symmetric or complex Hermitian Wigner matrix of size $N$ converge to the Tracy--Widom laws at a rate $O(N^{-1/3+\omega})$, as $N$ tends to infinity. For Wigner matrices this…
We prove a non conventional pointwise convergence theorem for a nilsystem, and give an explicit formula for the limit.
A celebrated result by Bourgain and Wierdl states that ergodic averages along primes converge almost everywhere for $L^p$-functions, $p>1$, with a polynomial version by Wierdl and Nair. Using an anti-correlation result for the von Mangoldt…
Consider a system $(X, \mathcal{F}, \mu, T)$, bounded functions $f_1, f_2 \in L^\infty(\mu)$ and $a,b \in \ZZ.$ We show that there exists a set of full measure $X_{f_1, f_2}$ in $X$ such that for all $x \in X_{f_1, f_2}$ and for every…
