In the framework of statistical mechanics the properties of macroscopic systems are deduced starting from the laws of their microscopic dynamics. One of the key assumptions in this procedure is the ergodic property, namely the equivalence…

We study double averages along orbits for measure preserving actions of $\mathbb{A}^\omega$, the direct sum of countably many copies of a finite abelian group $\mathbb{A}$. In this article we show an $L^p$ norm-variation estimate for these…

Recently, T. Tao gave a finitary proof a convergence theorem for multiple averages with several commuting transformations and soon later, T. Austin gave an ergodic proof of the same result. Although we give here one more proof of the same…

We propose a general formalism, within large deviation theory, giving access to the exact statistics of fluctuations of ballistically transported conserved quantities in homogeneous, stationary states. The formalism is expected to apply to…

Given a dynamical system, we say that a performance function has property P if its time averages along orbits are maximized at a periodic orbit. It is conjectured by several authors that for sufficiently hyperbolic dynamical systems,…

We prove that the fluctuations of mesocopic linear statistics for orthogonal polynomial ensembles are universal in the sense that two measures with asymptotic recurrence coefficients have the same asymptotic mesoscopic fluctuations (under…

We study $q$-variation inequality for bilinear averaging operators over convex bodies $(G_t)_{t>0}$ defined by \begin{align*} \mathbf{A}_t^G(f_1,f_2)(x) & =\frac{1}{|G_t|}\int_{G_t} f_1(x+y_1)f_2(x+y_2)\, dy_1\, dy_2, \quad x\in \Bbb R^d.…

We first present a modern simple proof of the classical ergodic Birkhoff's theorem and Bourgain's homogeneous bilinear ergodic theorem. This proof used the simple fact that the shift map on integers has a simple Lebesgue spectrum. As a…

The method of maximum entropy (ME) is extended to address the following problem: Once one accepts that the ME distribution is to be preferred over all others, the question is to what extent are distributions with lower entropy supposed to…

Let $(X,\mathcal{B}, \mu, T)$ be an ergodic dynamical system on a non-atomic finite measure space. Consider the maximal function $\dis R^*:(f, g) \in L^1\times L^1 \to R^*(f, g)(x) = \sup_{n} \frac{f(T^nx)g(T^{2n}x)}{n}.$ We show that there…

We prove limit theorems for rescaled occupation time fluctuations of a (d,alpha,beta)-branching particle system (particles moving in R^d according to a spherically symmetric alpha-stable Levy process, (1+beta)-branching, 0<beta<1, uniform…

In a previous paper, the authors proved a conjecture of Lalley and Sellke that the empirical (time-averaged) distribution function of the maximum of branching Brownian motion converges almost surely to a Gumbel distribution. The result is…

We study the equivalence of microcanonical and canonical ensembles in continuous systems, in the sense of the convergence of the corresponding Gibbs measures. This is obtained by proving a local central limit theorem and a local large…

In 1975 Szemer\'edi proved the long-standing conjecture of Erd\H{o}s and Tur\'an that any subset of $\bbZ$ having positive upper Banach density contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions. Szemer\'edi's proof was entirely…

The celebrated Carleson-Hunt theorem gives pointwise almost everywhere convergence for the Fourier series of a function in $L^p(\mathbb T)$. R. Oberlin, A. Seeger, T. Tao, C. Thiele and J. Wright (OSTTW) strengthened this theorem by proving…

There is evidence that taking the time average of the work performed by a thermally isolated system effectively "transforms" the adiabatic process into an isothermal one. This approach allows inherent quantities of adiabatic processes to be…

Exponential averages that appear in integral fluctuation theorems can be recast as a sum over moments of thermodynamic observables. We use two examples to show that such moment series can exhibit non-uniform convergence in certain singular…

We investigate the nodal volume of random hyperspherical harmonics $\lbrace T_{\ell;d}\rbrace_{\ell\in \mathbb N}$ on the $d$-dimensional unit sphere ($d\ge 2$). We exploit an orthogonal expansion in terms of Laguerre polynomials; this…

Let || . || be a norm on R^n. Averaging || (\eps_1 x_1, ..., \eps_n x_n) || over all the 2^n choices of \eps = (\eps_1, ..., \eps_n) in {-1, +1}^n, we obtain an expression ||| . ||| which is an unconditional norm on R^n. Bourgain,…

We prove an $r$-variation estimate, $r>4$, in the norm for ergodic averages with respect to three commuting transformations. It is not known whether such estimates hold for all $r\ge 2$ as in the analogous cases for one or two commuting…
