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…

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…

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 establish pointwise convergence for nonconventional ergodic averages taken along $\lfloor p^c\rfloor$, where $p$ is a prime number and $c\in(1,4/3)$ on $L^r$, $r\in(1,\infty)$. In fact, we consider averages along more general sequences…

We show the failure of the pointwise convergence of averages along the Omega function in a number field. As a consequence, we show, for instance, that the averages \[ \frac{1}{N^2}\sum_{1\leq m,n \leq N} f(T^{\Omega(m^2+n^2)}x)\] do not…

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…

A sequence $(s_n)$ of integers is good for the mean ergodic theorem if for each invertible measure preserving system $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu,T)$ and any bounded measurable function $f$, the averages $ \frac1N \sum_{n=1}^N f(T^{s_n}x)$ converge…

We study the limiting behavior of multiple ergodic averages involving several not necessarily commuting measure preserving transformations. We work on two types of averages, one that uses iterates along combinatorial parallelepipeds, and…

We investigate the limiting behavior of multiple ergodic averages along sparse sequences evaluated at prime numbers. Our sequences arise from smooth and well-behaved functions that have polynomial growth. Central to this topic is a…

We prove that if $\mu_n$ are probability measures on $Z$ such that $\hat \mu_n$ converges to 0 uniformly on every compact subset of $(0,1)$, then there exists a subsequence $\{n_k\}$ such that the weighted ergodic averages corresponding to…

The mean ergodic theorem is equivalent to the assertion that for every function K and every epsilon, there is an n with the property that the ergodic averages A_m f are stable to within epsilon on the interval [n,K(n)]. We show that even…

In this paper, we build some ergodic theorems involving function $\Omega$, where $\Omega(n)$ denotes the number of prime factors of a natural number $n$ counted with multiplicities. As a combinatorial application, it is shown that for any…

We prove pointwise convergence, as $N\to \infty$, for the multiple ergodic averages $\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^N f(T^nx)\cdot g(S^{a_n}x)$, where $T$ and $S$ are commuting measure preserving transformations, and $a_n$ is a random version of the…

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…

We establish weak-type $(1,1)$ bounds for the maximal function associated with ergodic averaging operators modeled on a wide class of thin deterministic sets $B$. As a corollary we obtain the corresponding pointwise convergence result on…

For any measure preserving system $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu,T_1,\ldots,T_d),$ where we assume no commutativity on the transformations $T_i,$ $1\leq i\leq d,$ we study the pointwise convergence of multiple ergodic averages with iterates of…

We prove a multidimensional ergodic theorem with weighted averages for the action of the group $\mathbb{Z}^d$ on a probability space. At level $n$ weights are of the form $n^{-d} \psi(j/n)$, $ j\in \mathbb{Z}^d$, for real functions $\psi$…

We consider weighted ergodic averages indexed by primes, where the weight depends on the prime, and is a "trace function" coming from algebraic geometry. We obtain extensions the classical mean-ergodic and pointwise ergodic theorems, as…

Let $T$ be a power bounded Hilbert space operator without unimodular eigenvalues. We show that the subsequential ergodic averages $N^{-1}\sum_{n=1}^N T^{a_n}$ converge in the strong operator topology for a wide range of sequences $(a_n)$,…

We establish mean convergence for multiple ergodic averages with iterates given by distinct fractional powers of primes and related multiple recurrence results. A consequence of our main result is that every set of integers with positive…
