A set $A \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ is a set of pointwise recurrence if for all minimal dynamical systems $(X, T)$, all $x \in X$, and all open neighborhoods $U \subseteq X$ of $x$, there exists a time $n \in A$ such that $T^n x \in U$. The set…
Given a countable amenable group $G$, a F\o lner sequence $(F_N) \subseteq G$, and a set $E \subseteq G$ with $\bar{d}_{(F_N)}(E)=\limsup_{N \to \infty} \frac{|E \cap F_N|}{|F_N|}>0$, Furstenberg's correspondence principle associates with…
We prove a Donsker and a Glivenko--Cantelli theorem for sequences of random discrete measures generalizing empirical measures. Those two results hold under standard conditions upon bracketing numbers of the indexing class of functions. As a…
We study here weighted polynomial multiple ergodic averages. A sequence of weights is called universally good if any polynomial multiple ergodic average with this sequence of weights converges in $L^{2}$. We find a necessary condition and…
This paper makes 3 contributions. First, it generalizes the Lindeberg\textendash Feller and Lyapunov Central Limit Theorems to Hilbert Spaces by way of $L^2$. Second, it generalizes these results to spaces in which sample failure and…
We study the structure of multiple correlation sequences defined by measure preserving actions of commuting transformations. When the iterates of the transformations are integer polynomials we prove that any such correlation sequence is the…
Let $a_n$ be the random increasing sequence of natural numbers which takes each value independently with probability $n^{-a}$, $0 < a < 1/2$, and let $p(n) = n^{1+\epsilon}$, $0 < \epsilon < 1$. We prove that, almost surely, for every…
We isolate conditions on the relative size of sets of natural numbers $A,B$ that guarantee a nonempty intersection $\Delta(A)\cap\Delta(B)\ne\emptyset$ of the corresponding sets of distances. Such conditions apply to a large class of zero…
Let $f$ be an inner function with $f(0)=0$ which is not a rotation and let $f^{n}$ be its $n$-th iterate. Let $\{a_{n}\}$ be a sequence of complex numbers. We prove that the series $\sum a_{n}f^{n}(\xi)$ converges at almost every point…
We study the distribution of partial sums of Rademacher random multiplicative functions $(f(n))_n$ evaluated at polynomial arguments. We show that for a polynomial $P\in \mathbb Z[x]$ that is a product of at least two distinct linear…
By an analogy to the duality between the recurrence time and the longest match length, we introduce a quantity dual to the maximal repetition length, which we call the repetition time. Extending prior results, we sandwich the repetition…
We show that for any free probability measure-preserving action of $\mathbb{C}^{d}$ on a standard probability space, there exists a Borel entire function $F$ such that the factor map $x \mapsto F_{x}$, where $F_{x}(z) = F(z \cdot x)$, is…
Let $f$ be a holomorphic function on the unit disc, and $(S_{n_{k}})$ be a subsequence of its Taylor polynomials about $0$. It is shown that the nontangential limit of $f$ and lim$_{k\rightarrow \infty }S_{n_{k}}$ agree at almost all points…
The goal of this paper is to survey the history, development and current status of the Return Times Theorem and its many extensions and variations. Let $(X, \mathcal{F}, \mu)$ be a finite measure space and let $T:X \rightarrow X$ be a…
Let $(X,\mu)$ be an arbitrary measure space equipped with a family of pairwise commuting measure preserving transformations $T_1, \dotsc, T_m$. We prove that the ergodic averages \[ A_{N;X}^{P_1, \dotsc, P_m}f = \frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N…
Following F. William Lawvere, we show that many self-referential paradoxes, incompleteness theorems and fixed point theorems fall out of the same simple scheme. We demonstrate these similarities by showing how this simple scheme encompasses…
We extend the classical van der Corput inequality to the real line. As a consequence, we obtain a simple proof of the Wiener-Wintner theorem for the $\mathbb{R}$-action which assert that for any family of maps $(T_t)_{t \in \mathbb{R}}$…
Let T be a bounded linear operator acting on a complex Banach space X and (\lambda_n) a sequence of complex numbers. Our main result is that if |\lambda_n|/|\lambda_{n+1}| \to 1 and the sequence (\lambda_n T^n) is frequently universal then…
We prove a multiple recurrence result for arbitrary measure-preserving transformations along polynomials in two variables of the form $m+p_i(n)$, with rationally independent $p_i$'s with zero constant term. This is in contrast to the single…
Given a Finsler space (M,F) on a manifold M, the averaging method associates to Finslerian geometric objects affine geometric objects} living on $M$. In particular, a Riemannian metric is associated to the fundamental tensor $g$ and an…
