We prove an L^1 subsequence ergodic theorem for sequences chosen by independent random selector variables, thereby showing the existence of universally L^1-good sequences nearly as sparse as the set of squares. In the process, we prove that…

Let $U$ be a unitary operator acting on the Hilbert space $H$, $\a:\{1,..., 2k\}\mapsto\{1,..., k\}$ a pair--partition, and finally $A_{1},...,A_{2k-1}\in B(H)$. We show that the ergodic average $$…

We derive the first two moments of generic positive stochastic functionals in terms of the one- and two-time probability density functions of the underlying random walk, and we prove ergodicity of observables in stationary random walks.…

We obtain a uniform ergodic theorem for the sequence $\frac1{s(n)} \sum_{k=0}^n(\varDelta s)(n-k)\,T^k$, where $\varDelta$ is the inverse of the endomorphism on the vector space of scalar sequences which maps each sequence into the sequence…

We consider continuous-time random walk models described by arbitrary sojourn time probability density functions. We find a general expression for the distribution of time-averaged observables for such systems, generalizing some recent…

Suppose that G is a compact Abelian topological group, m is the Haar measure on G and f is a measurable function. Given (n_k), a strictly monotone increasing sequence of integers we consider the nonconventional ergodic/Birkhoff averages…

A distributional symmetry is invariance of a distribution under a group of transformations. Exchangeability and stationarity are examples. We explain that a result of ergodic theory provides a law of large numbers: If the group satisfies…

We study the rate of growth of ergodic sums along a sequence (a_n) of times: S_N f(x)=f(T^{a_1}x) + ... + f(T^{a_N}x). We characterize the maximal rate of growth of these ergodic sums and identify a number of sequences such as (2^n) that…

We prove a.e. convergence of continuous-time quadratic averages with respect to two commuting $\mathbb{R}$-actions, coming from a single jointly measurable measure-preserving $\mathbb{R}^2$-action on a probability space. The key ingredient…

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,…

Although the G.Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem (BET) is trivial for finite spaces, this does not help in proving it for hyperfinite Loeb spaces. The proof of the BET for this case, suggested by T. Kamae, works, actually, for arbitrary probability…

We study a stability property of probability laws with respect to small violations of algorithmic randomness. A sufficient condition of stability is presented in terms of Schnorr tests of algorithmic randomness. Most probability laws, like…

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…

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…

A result for subadditive ergodic cocycles is proved that provides more delicate information than Kingman's subadditive ergodic theorem. As an application we deduce a multiplicative ergodic theorem generalizing an earlier result of…

In this paper we prove the following result, useful and often needed in the study of the ergodic properties of hard ball systems: In any such system, for any phase point x with a non-singular forward trajectory and infinitely many connected…

The theory of ergodic optimization for distance-expanding maps is extended to Gauss's continued fraction map. Since the set of invariant probability measures is not weak$^*$ closed, we establish a characterisation of the closure of this…

Ergodicity of random dynamical systems with a periodic measure is obtained on a Polish space. In the Markovian case, the idea of Poincar\'e sections is introduced. It is proved that if the periodic measure is PS-ergodic, then it is ergodic.…

We prove maximal ergodic theorems for spherical averages on the Heisenberg groups acting on $L_p$ spaces over measure spaces not necessarily commutative, that is, on noncommutative $L_p$ spaces. The scale of $p$ is optimal in the reduced…

In this survey we present some recent applications of proof mining to the fixed point theory of (asymptotically) nonexpansive mappings and to the metastability (in the sense of Terence Tao) of ergodic averages in uniformly convex Banach…
