Based on T.Tao's result of norm convergence of multiple ergodic averages for commut-ing transformation, we obtain there is a subsequence which converges almost everywhere. Meanwhile, the ergodic behaviour, which the time average is equal to…

We give examples of rank one compact surfaces on which there exist recurrent geodesics that cannot be shadowed by periodic geodesics. We build rank one compact surfaces such that ergodic measures on the unit tangent bundle of the surface…

Using techniques developed in \cite{KLR}, we verify Sarnak's conjecture for two classes of rank-one subshifts with unbounded cutting parameters. The first class of rank-one subshifts we consider are called {\em almost complete congruency…

We prove that a class of infinite measure preserving transformations, satisfying a "strong" weak mixing condition, generates all rigidity sequences of all conservative ergodic invertible measure preserving transformations defined on a…

We introduce notions of absolutely non-free and perfectly non-free group actions and use them to study the associated unitary representations. We show that every weakly branch group acts absolutely non-freely on the boundary of the…

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 prove that local rank of an ergodic symmetric power $T^{\odot n}$ does not exceed $n!n^{-n}$. A. Katok's old results show that this upper bound is exact. We prove also that $T^{\odot n}$ has infinite Rank as $n>1$.

This is an expository paper. It is well known that a linear transformation can be defined to have any desired action on a basis. From this fact, one can show that every group homomorphism from Z^k to R^d extends to a homomorphism from R^k…

We prove that a degeneration rationally connected varieties over a field of characteristic zero always contains a geometrically irreducible subvariety which is rationally connected.

We build a Shannon orbit equivalence between the universal odometer and a variety of rank-one systems. This is done in a unified manner, using what we call flexible classes of rank-one transformations. Our main result is that every flexible…

We study actions of higher rank lattices $\Gamma<G$ on hyperbolic spaces, and we show that all such actions satisfying mild properties come from the rank-one factors of $G$. In particular, all non-elementary actions on an unbounded…

Let $T$ be a bounded linear operator on a Banach space $X$ satisfying $\|T^n\|/n \to 0$. We prove that $T$ is uniformly ergodic if and only if the one-sided ergodic Hilbert transform $H_Tx:= \lim_{n\to\infty} \sum_{k=1}^n k^{-1}T^k x$…

We calculate the possible Scott ranks of countable models of Peano arithmetic. We show that no non-standard model can have Scott rank less than $\omega$ and that non-standard models of true arithmetic must have Scott rank greater than…

Let k be a field of characteristic zero. We show that the norm variety associated to a prime $\ell$ and an ordered sequence of invertible elements of k is geometrically retract rational. This generalizes a recent result of…

We establish an upper bound for the rank of every power of an arbitrary quadratic form. Specifically, for any $s\in\mathbb{N}$, we prove that the $s$-th power of a quadratic form of rank $n$ grows as $n^s$. Furthermore, we demonstrate that…

In this article we intend to contribute in the understanding of the ergodic properties of the set RT of robustly transitive local diffeomorphisms on a compact manifold M without boundary. We prove that there exists a C^1 residual subset R_0…

We introduce a family of adic transformations on diagrams that are nonstationary and nonsimple. This family includes some previously studied adic transformations. We relate the dimension group of each these diagrams to the dynamical system…

We study topological mixing properties and the maximal equicontinuous factor of rank-one subshifts as topological dynamical systems. We show that the maximal equicontinuous factor of a rank-one subshift is finite. We also determine all the…

For any quadratic extension $L/K$ of number fields, we prove that there are infinitely many elliptic curves $E$ over $K$ so that the abelian groups $E(K)$ and $E(L)$ both have rank $1$. In particular, there are infinitely many elliptic…

We prove that the skew product over a linearly recurrent interval exchange transformation defined by almost any real-valued, mean-zero linear combination of characteristic functions of intervals is ergodic with respect to Lebesgue measure.
