In this paper we study the ergodic theory of a robust non-uniformly expanding maps where no Markov assumption is required. We prove that the topological pressure is differentiable as a function of the dynamics and analytic with respect to…
We prove that any ergodic nonatomic probability-preserving action of an irreducible lattice in a semisimple group, at least one factor being connected and higher-rank, is essentially free. This generalizes the result of Stuck and Zimmer…
In the variational approach to statistical mechanics, equilibrium states are the rigorous analogues of thermodynamic phases; the question of which invariant measures can arise as equilibrium states is therefore the question of which phases…
This note presents a proof that the non-tangential maximal function of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup is bounded almost surely by the Gaussian Hardy-Littlewood maximal function. In particular this entails improvement on a result by Pineda…
We consider the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function associated with ball averages on spaces with exponential volume growth. We focus on discrete groups with balls defined by invariant metrics associated with a variety of length functions.…
We examine some of the properties of uniformly rigid transformations, and analyze the compatibility of uniform rigidity and (measurable) weak mixing along with some of their asymptotic convergence properties. We show that on Cantor space,…
For an ergodic action of the group $Z^n$ on a probability space and a given arbitrarily slowly decreasing to zero sequence, there exists an integrable function such that the standard ergodic time averages for it converge almost everywhere…
Given an action of a group $\Gamma$ on a measure space $\Omega$, we provide a sufficient criterion under which two sets $A, B\subseteq \Omega$ are measurably equidecomposable, i.e., $A$ can be partitioned into finitely many measurable…
We study expansiveness properties of positive measure subsets of ergodic $\mathbb{Z}^d$-actions along two different types of structured subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^d$, namely, cyclic subgroups and images of integer polynomials. We prove…
We prove a general result about the decomposition on ergodic components of group actions on boundaries of spherically homogeneous rooted trees. Namely, we identify the space of ergodic components with the boundary of the orbit tree…
Let $(\Omega,\mu)$ be a $\sigma$-finite measure space, and let $X\subset L^1(\Omega)+L^\infty(\Omega)$ be a fully symmetric space of measurable functions on $(\Omega,\mu)$. If $\mu(\Omega)=\infty$, necessary and sufficient conditions are…
We study pointwise convergence of entangled averages of the form \[ \frac{1}{N^k}\sum_{1\leq n_1,\ldots, n_k\leq N} T_m^{n_{\alpha(m)}}A_{m-1}T^{n_{\alpha(m-1)}}_{m-1}\ldots A_2T_2^{n_{\alpha(2)}}A_1T_1^{n_{\alpha(1)}} f, \] where $f\in…
We establish results with an arithmetic flavor that generalize the polynomial multidimensional Szemeredi theorem and related multiple recurrence and convergence results in ergodic theory. For instance, we show that in all these statements…
In this paper we show that the natural action of the symmetric group acting on the product space $\{0, 1 \}^{\mathbb{N}} $ endowed with a symmetric measure is approximately transitive. We also extend the result to a larger class of…
We provide quantitative estimates in total variation distance for positive semi-groups, which can be non-conservative and non-homogeneous. The techniques relies on a family of conservative semigroups that describes a typical particle and…
A joint measure-preserving system is $(X, \mathcal{B}, \mu_{1}, \dots, \mu_{k}, T_{1}, \dots, T_{k})$, where each $(X, \mathcal{B}, \mu_{i}, T_{i})$ is a measure-preserving system and any $\mu_{i}$ and $\mu_{j}$ are mutually absolutely…
We prove a max-min theorem for weak containment in the context of algebraic actions. Namely, we show that given an algebraic action of $G$ on $X,$ there is a maximal, closed $G$-invariant subgroup $Y$ of $X$ so that the action of $G$ on $Y$…
By employing an accelerated weighting method, we establish arbitrary polynomial and exponential pointwise convergence for multiple ergodic averages under general balancing conditions in both discrete and continuous settings, including…
We prove a generalization of the orthogonality relations of Duflo and Moore for ergodic, trace-preserving group actions on von Neumann algebras that are integrable in a suitable sense. We also obtain convolution inequalities that generalize…
