In geometric measure theory, there is interest in studying the interaction of measures with rectifiable sets. Here, we extend a theorem of Badger and Schul in Euclidean space to characterize rectifiable pointwise doubling measures in…

We show that on a $\sigma$-finite measure preserving system $X = (X,\nu, T)$, the non-conventional ergodic averages $$ \mathbb{E}_{n \in [N]} \Lambda(n) f(T^n x) g(T^{P(n)} x)$$ converge pointwise almost everywhere for $f \in L^{p_1}(X)$,…

In this paper we study quantitative recurrence and the shrinking target problem for dynamical systems coming from overlapping iterated function systems. Such iterated function systems have the important property that a point often has…

Using a structure theorem from [FG2010] we prove a version of multiple recurrence for sets of positive measure in a general stationary dynamical system.

Let $M$ be a complete Riemannian manifold, $N\in \NN$ and $p\ge 1$. We prove that almost everywhere on $x=(x_1,...,x_N)\in M^N$ for Lebesgue measure in $M^N$, the measure $\di \mu(x)=\f1N\sum_{k=1}^N\d_{x_k}$ has a unique $p$-mean $e_p(x)$.…

Khintchine's theorem is a classical result from metric number theory which relates the Lebesgue measure of certain limsup sets with the convergence/divergence of naturally occurring volume sums. In this paper we ask whether an analogous…

We prove that, for every rational $d\ne 0,\pm 1$ and every compact set $K\subset\{s\in\mathbb{C}:1/2<\Re(s)<1\}$ with connected complement, any analytic non-vanishing functions $f_1,f_2$ on $K$ can be approximated, uniformly on $K$, by the…

We discuss the question of recurrence for persistent, or Newtonian, random walks in Z^2, i.e., random walks whose transition probabilities depend both on the walker's position and incoming direction. We use results by Toth and Schmidt-Conze…

Let $\I$ be an ideal on $\N$ which is either analytic or coanalytic. Assume that $(f_n)$ is a sequence of functions with the Baire property from a Polish space $X$ into a complete metric space $Z$, which is divergent on a comeager set. We…

We obtain new results pertaining to convergence and recurrence of multiple ergodic averages along functions from a Hardy field. Among other things, we confirm some of the conjectures posed by Frantzikinakis in [Fra10; Fra16] and obtain…

For a family of continuous functions $f_1,f_2,\dots \colon I \to \mathbb{R}$ ($I$ is a fixed interval) with $f_1\le f_2\le \dots$ define a set $$ I_f:=\big\{x \in I \colon \lim_{n \to \infty} f_n(x)=+\infty\big\}.$$ We study the properties…

Let $(X,T,\mu,d)$ be a metric measure-preserving system. If $B(x,r_n(x))$ is a sequence of balls such that, for each $n$, the measure of $B(x,r_n(x))$ is constant, then we obtain a self-norming CLT for recurrence for systems satisfying a…

We construct, in locally compact, second countable, amenable groups, sets with large density that fail to have certain combinatorial properties. For the property of being a shift of a set of measurable recurrence we show that this is…

For a probability measure preserving dynamical system $(\mathcal{X},f,\mu)$, the Poincar\'e Recurrence Theorem asserts that $\mu$-almost every orbit is recurrent with respect to its initial condition. This motivates study of the statistics…

We establish pointwise almost everywhere convergence for the polynomial multiple ergodic averages $$\frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N \La(n) f_1(T^{P_1(n)} x)\cdots f_k(T^{P_k(n)} x)$$ as $N\to \infty$, where $\La$ is the von Mangoldt function, $T…

Let $(X_{k})_{k\geq 1}$ and $(Y_k)_{k\geq 1}$ be the sequence of $X$ and $Y$-coordinates of the positive integer solutions $(x, y)$ of the equation $x^2 - dy^2 = t$. In this paper we completely describe those recurrence sequences such that…

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…

In this paper, we study the pointwise convergence of centain continuous-time polynomial ergodic averages. Our approach is based on the topological models of measurable flows. One of the main results of this paper is as follows: Let $a\in…

We study multiple recurrence without commutativity in this paper. We show that for any two homeomorphisms $T,S: X\rightarrow X$ with $(X,T)$ and $(X,S)$ being minimal, there is a residual subset $X_0$ of $X$ such that for any $x\in X_0$ and…
