We answer a question posed by Vitaly Bergelson, showing that in a totally ergodic system, the average of a product of functions evaluated along polynomial times, with polynomials of pairwise differing degrees, converges in $L^{2}$ to the…

We study the asymptotic properties of the trajectories of a discrete-time random dynamical system in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. Under some natural assumptions on the model, we establish a multiplica-tive ergodic theorem with an…

Let $S$ and $T$ be measure-preserving transformations of a probability space $(X,{\mathcal B},\mu)$. Let $f$ be a bounded measurable functions, and consider the integrals of the corresponding `double' ergodic averages:…

We establish results with an arithmetic flavor that generalize the polynomial multidimensional Szemeredi theorem and related multiple recurrence and convergence results in ergodic theory. For instance, we show that in all these statements…

These notes are based on a course for a general audience given at the Centro de Modeliamento Matem\'atico of the University of Chile, in December 2004. We study the mean convergence of multiple ergodic averages, that is, averages of a…

Given an ergodic dynamical system $(X,T,\mu)$, and $U\subset X$ measurable with $\mu (U)>0$, let $\mu (U)\tau_U(x)$ denote the normalized hitting time of $x\in X$ to $U$. We prove that given a sequence $(U_n)$ with $\mu (U_n)\to 0$, the…

Let $(X,\mu)$ be a probability space equipped with an invertible, measure-preserving transformation $T\colon X \to X$. We exhibit a wide class of weights $w$ so that whenever $f,g \in L^{\infty}(X)$, the bilinear ergodic averages \[…

It is known that, for a positive Dunford-Schwartz operator in a noncommutative $L^p-$space, $1\leq p<\infty$ or, more generally, in a noncommutative Orlicz space with order continuous norm, the corresponding ergodic averages converge…

We prove the norm convergence of multiple ergodic averages along cubes for several commuting transformations, and derive corresponding combinatorial results. The method we use relies primarily on the "magic extension" established recently…

We prove convergence in norm and pointwise almost everywhere on $L^p$, $p\in (1,\infty)$, for certain multi-parameter polynomial ergodic averages by establishing the corresponding multi-parameter maximal and oscillation inequalities. Our…

We show the $L^2$-convergence of continuous time ergodic averages of a product of functions evaluated at return times along polynomials. These averages are the continuous time version of the averages appearing in Furstenberg's proof of…

We show that the cubic nonconventional ergodic averages of any order with a bounded multiplicative function weight converge almost surely to zero provided that the multiplicative function satisfies a strong Daboussi-Delange condition. We…

In a previous article, we extended the notion of ergodic optimization to the setting of C*-dynamical systems of countable discrete groups. Among the key results of that paper was that given an action $G \stackrel{\Xi}{\curvearrowright}…

We study the optimization of ergodic averages for multi-valued dynamical systems, i.e. where points may have multiple different forward orbits. Under upper semi-continuity assumptions, we show that the maximum space average with respect to…

Suppose that G is a compact Abelian topological group, m is the Haar measure on G and f is a measurable function. Given (n_k), a strictly monotone increasing sequence of integers we consider the nonconventional ergodic/Birkhoff averages…

Let $F_2$ denote the free group on two generators $a,b$. For any measure-preserving system $(X, {\mathcal X}, \mu, (T_g)_{g \in F_2})$ on a finite measure space $X = (X,{\mathcal X},\mu)$, any $f \in L^1(X)$, and any $n \geq 1$, define the…

It is shown that the homogeneous ergodic bilinear averages with M\"{o}bius or Liouville weight converge almost surely to zero, that is, if $T$ is a map acting on a probability space $(X,\mathcal{A},\mu)$, and $a,b \in \mathbb{Z}$, then for…

The main goal of the paper is to prove convergence in norm and pointwise almost everywhere on $L^p$, $p\in (1,\infty)$, for certain multiparameter polynomial ergodic averages in the spirit of Dunford and Zygmund for continuous flows. We…

This article is devoted to the study of the multifractal analysis of ergodic averages in some nonuniformly hyperbolic systems. In particular, our results hold for the robust classes of multidimensional nonuniformly expanding local…
