We rigorously examine the ergodic properties of quantum lattice models with short range interactions, in the C* algebra formulation of statistical mechanics. Ergodicity results, in the context of group actions on C* algebras, assume that…

Let U:=L\G be a homogeneous variety defined over a number field K, where G is a connected semisimple K-group and L is a connected maximal semisimple K-subgroup of G with finite index in its normalizer. Assuming that G(K_v) acts transitively…

We provide an explicit uniform bound on the local stability of ergodic averages in uniformly convex Banach spaces. Our result can also be viewed as a finitary version in the sense of T. Tao of the Mean Ergodic Theorem for such spaces and so…

We use techniques of proof mining to obtain a computable and uniform rate of metastability (in the sense of Tao) for the mean ergodic theorem for a finite number of commuting linear contractive operators on a uniformly convex Banach space.

We prove a new pointwise ergodic theorem for probability-measure-preserving (pmp) actions of free groups, where the ergodic averages are taken over arbitrary finite subtrees of the standard Cayley graph rooted at the identity. This result…

This paper resolves the question of pointwise convergence for ergodic averages of a single function along the set of polynomial values of primes of the form $x^2 + ny^2$. Following the influential paper of Bourgain…

The classical Gaussian functor associates to every orthogonal representation of a locally compact group $G$ a probability measure preserving action of $G$ called a Gaussian action. In this paper, we generalize this construction by…

For every $c\in(1,23/22)$ and every probability dynamical system $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu,T)$ we prove that for any $f,g\in L^{\infty}_{\mu}(X)$ the bilinear ergodic averages \[ \frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^Nf(T^{\lfloor n^c\rfloor}x)g(T^{-\lfloor…

For $\Gamma$ a Fuchsian group of finite covolume, we study the lattice point problem in conjugacy classes on the Riemann surface $\Gamma \backslash \mathbb{H}$. Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a hyperbolic conjugacy class in $\Gamma$ and $\ell$ the…

We study the long-time behavior of an additive functional that takes into account the jumps of a symmetric Markov process. This process is assumed to be observed through a biased observation scheme that includes the survival to events of…

This article shortly provides related proofs of the ergodic theorems of von Neumann, Birkhoff, Wiener, and Rokhlin's lemma for $Z^d$-actions with an invariant measure. It is shown how some deviations of ergodic averages can be structured.…

Examining multiple ergodic averages whose iterates are integer parts of real valued polynomials for totally ergodic systems, we provide various characterizations of total joint ergodicity, meaning that an average converges to the "expected"…

We use ergodic theory to prove a quantitative version of a theorem of M. A. Berger and Y. Wang, which relates the joint spectral radius of a set of matrices to the spectral radii of finite products of those matrices. The proof rests on a…

We study the rate of growth of ergodic sums along a sequence (a_n) of times: S_N f(x)=f(T^{a_1}x) + ... + f(T^{a_N}x). We characterize the maximal rate of growth of these ergodic sums and identify a number of sequences such as (2^n) that…

We study mean convergence of multiple ergodic averages, where the iterates arise from smooth functions of polynomial growth that belong to a Hardy field. Our results include all logarithmico-exponential functions of polynomial growth, such…

The following two results are shown. 1) Let $G$ be the $k$-rational points of a simple algebraic group over a local field $k$ and let $H$ be a lattice in $G.$ Then the regular representation of $G$ on $L^2(G/H)$ has a spectral gap (that is,…

We consider a bounded representation $T$ of a commutative semigroup $S$ on a Banach space and analyse the relation between three concepts: (i) properties of the unitary spectrum of $T$, which is defined in terms of semigroup characters on…
