We present a general new method for constructing pointwise ergodic sequences on countable groups, which is applicable to amenable as well as to non-amenable groups and treats both cases on an equal footing. The principle underlying the…
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…
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 investigate the Bilinear Hilbert Transform in the plane and the pointwise convergence of bilinear averages in Ergodic theory, arising from $\Z^2$ actions. Our techniques combine novel one and a half dimensional phase-space analysis with…
We lift important results about universally typical sets, typically sampled sets, and empirical entropy estimation in the theory of samplings of discrete ergodic information sources from the usual one-dimensional discrete-time setting to a…
We introduce and discuss a multivariate version of the classical median that is based on an equipartition property with respect to quarter spaces. These arise as pairwise intersections of the half-spaces associated with the coordinate…
We will present several examples in which ideas from ergodic theory can be useful to study some problems in arithmetic and algebraic geometry.
The stochastic processes underlying the growth and stability of biological and psychological systems reveal themselves when far from equilibrium. Far from equilibrium, nonergodicity reigns. Nonergodicity implies that the average outcome for…
We consider mutually disjoint family of measure preserving transformations $T_1, \cdots, T_k$ on a probability space $(X, \mathcal{B}, \mu)$. We obtain the multiple recurrence property of $T_1, \cdots, T_k$ and this result is utilized to…
We study ergodic properties of a class of Markov-modulated general birth-death processes under fast regime switching. The first set of results concerns the ergodic properties of the properly scaled joint Markov process with a parameter that…
Let $U$ be a unitary operator acting on the Hilbert space H, and $\alpha:\{1,..., m\}\mapsto\{1,..., k\}$ a partition of the set $\{1,..., m\}$. We show that the ergodic average $$ \frac{1}{N^{k}}\sum_{n_{1},...,n_{k}=0}^{N-1}…
We present a unified approach to extensions of Bourgain's Double Recurrence Theorem and Bourgain's Return Times Theorem to integer parts of the Kronecker sequence, emphasizing stopping times and metric entropy. Specifically, we prove the…
Martingale methods are used to study the almost everywhere convergence of general function series. Applications are given to ergodic series, which improves recent results of Fan \cite{FanETDS}, and to dilated series, including Davenport…
The arithmetic average of a collection of observed values of a homogeneous collection of quantities is often taken to be the most representative observation. There are several arguments supporting this choice the moment of inertia being the…
The well established procedure of constructing phenomenological ensemble from a single long time series is investigated. It is determined that a time series generated by a simple Uhlenbeck-Ornstein Langevin equation is mean ergodic. However…
We study the range of validity of differentiation theorems and ergodic theorems for $\R^d$ actions, for averages on "thick spheres" of Euclidean space.
This article reviews a generous sampling of both classical and more recent results on the interplay between measurable and topological dynamics. In the first part we have surveyed the strong analogies between ergodic theory and topological…
The geometric mean of two matrices is considered and analyzed from a computational viewpoint. Some useful theoretical properties are derived and an analysis of the conditioning is performed. Several numerical algorithms based on different…
We study the statistical convergence of metric valued sequences and of their subsequences. The interplay between the statistical and usual convergences in metric spaces is also studied.
Let $a_n$ be the random increasing sequence of natural numbers which takes each value independently with probability $n^{-a}$, $0 < a < 1/2$, and let $p(n) = n^{1+\epsilon}$, $0 < \epsilon < 1$. We prove that, almost surely, for every…
