We develop a framework for the study of the limiting behavior of multiple ergodic averages with commuting transformations when all iterates are given by the same sparse sequence; this enables us to partially resolve several longstanding…

It is known that if each point $x$ of a dynamical system is generic for some invariant measure $\mu_x$, then there is a strong connection between certain ergodic and topological properties of that system. In particular, if the acting group…

Consider a system $(X, \mathcal{F}, \mu, T)$, bounded functions $f_1, f_2 \in L^\infty(\mu)$ and $a,b \in \ZZ.$ We show that there exists a set of full measure $X_{f_1, f_2}$ in $X$ such that for all $x \in X_{f_1, f_2}$ and for every…

We survey distributional properties of $\mathbb{R}^d$-valued cocycles of finite measure preserving ergodic transformations (or, equivalently, of stationary random walks in $\mathbb{R}^d$) which determine recurrence or transience.

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for joint ergodicity results of collections of sequences with respect to systems of commuting measure preserving transformations. Combining these results with a new technique that we call…

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…

We study the ergodic properties of compositions of interval exchange transformations and rotations. We show that for any interval exchange transformation T, there is a full measure set of \alpha in [0, 1) so that T composed with R_{\alpha}…

We derive an exact solution of an explicitly time-dependent multichannel model of quantum mechanical nonadiabatic transitions. In the limit N >>1, where N is the number of states, we find that the survival probability of the initially…

We show that $ { \omega }(n)$ and $ { \Omega }(n)$, the number of distinct prime factors of $n$ and the number of distinct prime factors of $n$ counted according to multiplicity are good weighting functions for the pointwise ergodic theorem…

Given sequence of measure preserving transformations $\{U_k:\,k=1,2,\ldots, n\}$ on a measurable space $(X,\mu)$. We prove a.e. convergence of the ergodic means \begin{equation} \frac{1}{s_1\cdots…

Let $(X, \mathcal{A},\mu)$ be a probability space and let $T$ be a contraction on $L^2(\mu)$. We provide suitable conditions over sequences $(w_k)$, $(u_k)$ and $(A_k)$ in such a way that the weighted ergodic limit…

The beta transformation is the iterated map $\beta x\,\mod1$; it generates the base-$\beta$ expansion of a real number x. Every iterated piece-wise monotonic map is topologically conjugate to the beta transformation. For all but a countable…

We define a class of dynamical maps on the quasi-local algebra of a quantum spin system, which are quantum analogues of probabilistic cellular automata. We develop criteria for such a system to be ergodic, i.e., to possess a unique…

The multiple Birkhoff recurrence theorem states that for any $d\in\mathbb N$, every system $(X,T)$ has a multiply recurrent point $x$, i.e. $(x,x,\ldots, x)$ is recurrent under $\tau_d=:T\times T^2\times \ldots \times T^d$. It is natural to…

We say that $S\subset\mathbb Z$ is a set of $k$-recurrence if for every measure preserving transformation $T$ of a probability measure space $(X,\mu)$ and every $A\subseteq X$ with $\mu(A)>0$, there is an $n\in S$ such that $\mu(A\cap…

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…

We show that if $(X, \mu, T)$ is a probability measure-preserving dynamical system, and $\mathscr{P}$ is a countable partition of $(X, \mu)$, then the limit $$ \lim_{n, k \to \infty} \mathbb{E} \left[ \frac{1}{k} \sum_{j = 0}^{k - 1} f…

Let $(X,\nu,T)$ be a measure-preserving system, and let $P_1,\ldots, P_k$ be polynomials with integer coefficients. We prove that, for any $f_1,\ldots, f_k\in L^{\infty}(X)$, the M\"obius-weighted polynomial multiple ergodic averages…

In connection with the results of Tim Austin, and Wen Huang, Song Shao, Xiangdong Ye we present the following assertion: there are infinite automorphisms $S,T$, some set $A$ of positive finite measure and a sequence $N_m$ with…

For every $c\in(1,23/22)$ and every probability dynamical system $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu,T)$ we prove that for any $f,g\in L^{\infty}_{\mu}(X)$ the bilinear ergodic averages \[ \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^Nf(T^{\lfloor n^c\rfloor}x)g(T^{-\lfloor…
