Let $\mathcal{P}$ be an (unbounded) countable multiset of primes, let $G=\bigoplus_{p\in P}\mathbb{F}_p$. We study the $k$'th universal characteristic factors of an ergodic probability system $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu)$ with respect to some…

We prove a model theorem for factor maps between ergodic, infinite measure-preserving systems.

It was conjectured by Bergelson, Tao, and Ziegler \cite{btz} that every Host--Kra $\F_p^\omega$-system of order $k$ is an Abramov system of order $k$. This conjecture has been verified for $k \leq p+1$. In this paper we show that the…

In this paper, the nilspace approach to higher-order Fourier analysis is developed in the setting of vector spaces over a prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$, with applications mainly in ergodic theory. A key requisite for this development is to…

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…

Let $a_n$ be the random increasing sequence of natural numbers which takes each value independently with decreasing probability of order $n^{-\alpha}$, $0 < \alpha < 1/2$. We prove that, almost surely, for every measure-preserving system…

Let X=(X^0,\mu,T) be an ergodic measure preserving system. For a natural number k we consider the averages (*) 1/N \sum_{n=1}^N \prod_{j=1}^k f_j(T^{n a_j}x) where the functions f_j are bounded, and a_j are integers. A factor of X is…

It is well-known that a strict analogue of the Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem in infinite ergodic theory is trivial; it states that for any infinite-measure-preserving ergodic system the Birkhoff average of every integrable function is almost…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be an (unbounded) countable multiset of primes (i.e. every prime may appear multiple times) and let $G=\bigoplus_{p\in \mathcal{P}}\mathbb{F}_p$. We develop a Host-Kra structure theory for the universal characteristic…

We prove ergodicity of a class of infinite measure preserving systems, called skew-products. More precisely, we consider systems of the form \[ {T_f}:{[0, 1) \times \mathbb{R}}\to{[0, 1) \times \mathbb{R}},\quad {T_f(x, t)}:={(T(x),…

In this note we give a fairly direct proof of a recent theorem of Gorska, Lemanczyk and de la Rue which characterises the class of measure preserving transformations that are disjoint from every ergodic measure preserving transformation.…

We develop a model-theoretic framework for the study of distal factors of strongly ergodic, measure-preserving dynamical systems of countable groups. Our main result is that all such factors are contained in the (existential) algebraic…

We study measure preserving systems, called Furstenberg systems, that model the statistical behavior of sequences defined by smooth functions with at most polynomial growth. Typical examples are the sequences $(n^\frac{3}{2})$,…

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be a countable multiset of primes and let $G=\bigoplus_{p\in P}\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$. We study the universal characteristic factors associated with the Gowers-Host-Kra seminorms for the group $G$. We show that the…

We solve the question of the existence of a Poisson-Pinsker factor for conservative ergodic infinite measure preserving action of a countable amenable group by proving the following dichotomy: either it has totally positive Poisson entropy…

We consider infinite measure-preserving non-primitive self-similar tiling systems in Euclidean space $\mathbb R^d$. We establish the second-order ergodic theorem for such systems, with exponent equal to the Hausdorff dimension of a…

The ergodic decomposition theorem is a cornerstone result of dynamical systems and ergodic theory. It states that every invariant measure on a dynamical system is a mixture of ergodic ones. Here we formulate and prove the theorem in terms…

Sinai proved that a nonatomic ergodic measure-preserving system has any Bernoulli shift of no greater entropy as a factor. Given a Bernoulli shift, we show that any other Bernoulli shift that is of strictly less entropy and is…

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…

The trivial proof of the ergodic theorem for a finite set $Y$ and a permutation $T:Y\to Y$ shows that for an arbitrary function $f:Y\to{\mathbb R}$ the sequence of ergodic means $A_n(f,T)$ stabilizes for $n \gg |T|$. We show that if $|Y|$…
