We consider ergodic multiflows on a probability space. The general theorem on universal averaging for multiflows is applied to averaging along manifolds in $R^n$.

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…

In this paper, we study the almost everywhere convergence of sequences of two-parameter ergodic averages over rectangles in the plane. On the one hand, we show that if the rectangles we consider have their sides with slopes in a finitely…

Tao has recently proved that if $T_1,...,T_l$ are commuting, invertible, measure-preserving transformations on a dynamical system then for any $L^\infty$ functions $f_1,...,f_l$, the average $\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1}\prod_{i\leq…

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 quantitative estimates for averages of the von Mangoldt and M\"obius functions along polynomial progressions $n+P_1(m),\ldots, n+P_k(m)$ for a large class of polynomials $P_i$. The error terms obtained save an arbitrary power of…

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…

We show the failure of the pointwise convergence of averages along the Omega function in a number field. As a consequence, we show, for instance, that the averages \[ \frac{1}{N^2}\sum_{1\leq m,n \leq N} f(T^{\Omega(m^2+n^2)}x)\] do not…

We consider weighted ergodic averages indexed by primes, where the weight depends on the prime, and is a "trace function" coming from algebraic geometry. We obtain extensions the classical mean-ergodic and pointwise ergodic theorems, as…

In this paper, we extend the generalized Wiener-Wintner Theorem built by Host and Kra to the multilinear case under the hypothesis of pointwise convergence of multilinear ergodic averages. In particular, we have the following result: Let…

For any dynamical system, we show that higher variation-norms for the sequence of ergodic bilinear averages of two functions satisfy a large range of bilinear Lp estimates. It follows that, with probability one, the number of fluctuations…

Exploiting the recent work of Tao and Ziegler on a concatenation theorem on factors, we find explicit characteristic factors for multiple averages along polynomials on systems with commuting transformations, and use them to study criteria…

In this paper, we reduce pointwise convergence of polynomial ergodic averages of general measure-preserving system acted by $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ to the case of measure-preserving system acted by $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ with zero entropy. As an…

Let $T_1, ..., T_l: X \to X$ be commuting measure-preserving transformations on a probability space $(X, \X, \mu)$. We show that the multiple ergodic averages $\frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=0}^{N-1} f_1(T_1^n x) ... f_l(T_l^n x)$ are convergent in…

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 \[…

Let $T$ be an ergodic measure-preserving transformation on a non-atomic probability space $(X,\Sigma,\mu)$. We prove uniform extensions of the Wiener-Wintner theorem in two settings: For averages involving weights coming from Hardy field…

We study mean convergence of multiple ergodic averages, where the iterates arise from smooth functions of polynomial growth that belong to a Hardy field. Our results include all logarithmico-exponential functions of polynomial growth, such…

We show that for each Orlicz space properly contained in L^1 there is a sequence along which the ergodic averages converge for functions in the Orlicz space, but diverge for all f in L^1. This extends the work of K. Reinhold, who, building…

We prove the $L^{2}$ convergence for the linear multiple ergodic averages of commuting transformations $T_{1}, ..., T_{l}$, assuming that each map $T_i$ and each pair $T_iT_j^{-1}$ is ergodic for $i\neq j$. The limiting behavior of such…
