A classical fact in ergodic theory is that ergodicity is equivalent to almost everywhere divergence of ergodic sums of all nonnegative integrable functions which are not identically zero. We show two methods, one in the measure preserving…
We prove a ratio ergodic theorem for amenable equivalence relations satisfying a strong form of the Besicovich covering property. We then use this result to study general non-singular actions of non-abelian free groups and establish a ratio…
We give a short proof of a sumset conjecture of Erd\"os, recently proved by Moreira, Richter and Robertson: every subset of the integers of positive density contains the sum of two infinite sets. The proof is written in the framework of…
We first develop a theory of conditional expectations for random variables with values in a complete metric space $M$ equipped with a contractive barycentric map $\beta$, and then give convergence theorems for martingales of…
In 1974, Erd\H{o}s and Kleitman conjectured that if a family $\mathcal{F}\subseteq 2^{[n]}$ contains no matching of size \(s\) and is maximal with respect to this property, then $ |\mathcal{F}|\ge \left(1-2^{-(s-1)}\right)\cdot 2^{n}. $ For…
Recent results of L. Zsido, based on his previous work with C. P. Niculescu and A. Stroh, on actions of topological semigroups on von Neumann algebras, give a Jacobs-de Leeuw-Glicksberg splitting theorem at the von Neumann algebra (rather…
This is partly a survey article for Constructive Approximation's Special Issue on Approximation and Statistical Physics. It reviews results of B. Shiffman-S.Zelditch, R. Berman. S. Boucksom, D. Witt-Nystrom, T. Bloom, O. Zeitouni and others…
One of the most classical results in Ramsey theory is the theorem of Erd\H{o}s and Szekeres from 1935, which says that every sequence of more than $k^2$ numbers contains a monotone subsequence of length $k+1$. We address the following…
We initiate the study of effective pointwise ergodic theorems in resource-bounded settings. Classically, the convergence of the ergodic averages for integrable functions can be arbitrarily slow. In contrast, we show that for a class of…
We generalize several classical theorems in extremal combinatorics by replacing a global constraint with an inequality which holds for all objects in a given class. In particular we obtain generalizations of Tur\'an's theorem, the…
The classical Erd\H os-Ko-Rado theorem states that if $k\le\floor{n/2}$ then the largest family of pairwise intersecting $k$-subsets of $[n]=\{0,1,...,n\}$ is of size ${{n-1}\choose{k-1}}$. A family of $k$ subsets satisfying this pairwise…
We study ergodic properties of compositions of holomorphic endomorphisms of the complex projective space chosen independently at random according to some probability distribution. Along the way, we construct positive closed currents which…
In this note, we are interested in obtaining uniform upper bounds for the number of powerful numbers in short intervals $(x, x + y]$. We obtain unconditional upper bounds $O(\frac{y}{\log y})$ and $O(y^{11/12})$ for all powerful numbers and…
We show that ergodic flows in noncommutative fully symmetric spaces (associated with a semifinite von Neumann algebra) generated by continuous semigroups of positive Dunford-Schwartz operators and modulated by bounded Besicovitch almost…
We exhibit proofs of two ergodic-theoretic results in the study of multiple recurrence using an analog of the density-increment argument of Roth and Gowers: Furstenberg's Multiple Recurrence Theorem (which implies Szemer\'edi's Theorem),…
We extend the results of Jones, Rosenblatt, and Wierdl concerning higher-dimensional oscillation in ergodic theory in a variety of ways. We do so by transference to the integer lattice, where we employ technique from (discrete) harmonic…
A very short and direct proof along the lines of the Kamae-Katznelson-Weiss approach.
We study the asymptotic behavior of the sequence $\{\Omega(n) \}_{ n \in \mathbb{N} }$ from a dynamical point of view, where $\Omega(n)$ denotes the number of prime factors of $n$ counted with multiplicity. First, we show that for any…
In this paper, we study $k$-term arithmetic progressions $N, N+d, ..., N+(k-1)d$ of powerful numbers. Under the $abc$-conjecture, we obtain $d \gg_\epsilon N^{1/2 - \epsilon}$. On the other hand, there exist infinitely many $3$-term…
We prove quantum ergodicity for certain orthonormal bases of $L^2(\mathbb{S}^2)$, consisting of joint eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on $\mathbb{S}^2$ and the discrete averaging operator over a finite set of rotations, generating a free…
