In 1949, V.A. Rokhlin introduced new invariants for measure-preserving transformations, called k-fold mixing. Does mixing imply k-fold mixing? -- this problem remains open. We recall shortly some results and discuss related problems.

We show that typical extensions of ergodic systems inherit the triviality of pairwise independent self-joinings. This property (introduced by A. del Junco and D. Rudolph) is related with Rokhlin's famous multiple mixing problem and several…

In 1968, V.I. Oseledets formulated the question of convergence in the Birkhoff theorem and the multiplicative ergodic theorem for measurable cocycles over flows under the condition of integrability for each individual t. A.M. Stepin and the…

Since their introduction by Furstenberg in 1967, joinings have proved a very powerful tool in ergodic theory. We present here some aspects of the use of joinings in the study of measurable dynamical systems, emphasizing on - the links…

It is natural to try to place the new polynomial invariants of links in algebraic topology (e.g. to try to interpret them using homology or homotopy groups). However, one can think that these new polynomial invariants are byproducts of a…

Mixing for measure-preserving group actions is a fundamental notion in ergodic theory, with different phenomena arising for different acting groups. In 1993, Klaus Schmidt and Tom Ward proved that 2-mixing implies mixing of all orders for…

This work develops a rigorous framework for analysing ergodicity and mixing in time-inhomogeneous quantum dynamics. It considers quantum evolutions generated by sequences of quantum channels and examines in detail the relationship between…

J.H.C. Whitehead introduced the concept of crossed modules in the early 20th century. These crossed modules are crucial for algebraic models of 2-type homotopy, which involve connected spaces with no higher than second-degree homotopy…

We develop operator renewal theory for flows and apply this to infinite ergodic theory. In particular we obtain results on mixing for a large class of infinite measure semiflows. Examples of systems covered by our results include…

We utilize an ergodic theory framework to explore sublinear expectation theory. Specifically, we investigate the pointwise Birkhoff's ergodic theorem for invariant sublinear expectation systems. By further assuming that these sublinear…

This work aims to investigate the existence of ergodic invariant measures and its uniqueness, associated with obstacle problems governed by a T-monotone operator defined on Sobolev spaces and driven by a multiplicative noise in a bounded…

The paper deals with the problem of integration of equations of motion in nonholonomic systems. By means of well-known theory of the differential equations with an invariant measure the new integrable systems are discovered. Among them…

In the context of the long-standing issue of mixing in infinite ergodic theory, we introduce the idea of mixing for observables possessing an infinite-volume average. The idea is borrowed from statistical mechanics and appears to be…

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…

V.A. Rohlin asked in 1949 whether 2-fold mixing implies 3-fold mixing for a stationary process indexed by Z, and the question remains open today. In 1978, F. Ledrappier exhibited a counterexample to the 2-fold mixing implies 3-fold mixing…

The theory of iterated monodromy groups was developed by Nekrashevych. It is a wonderful example of application of group theory in dynamical systems and, in particular, in holomorphic dynamics. Iterated monodromy groups encode in a…

The celebrated Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem asserts that, for an ergodic map, orbits of almost every point equidistributes when sampled at integer times. This result was generalized by Bourgain to many natural sparse subsets of the integers. On…

We introduce the notion of common conditional expectation to investigate Birkhoff's ergodic theorem and subadditive ergodic theorem for invariant upper probabilities. If in addition, the upper probability is ergodic, we construct an…

A method for obtaining simple criteria for instabilities in kinetic theory is described and outlined, specifically for the relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system. An important ingredient of the method is an analysis of a parametrized set of…

The well-known ergodic hierarchy of sheerly ergodic, mixing, Kolmogorov and Bernoulli systems, with each next level supposedly encompassing the previous one, is shown to be too simplistic in its usual formulation. A K-system can be sheerly…
