Abstract

In this paper, we extend Bourgain's double recurrence result to the Wiener-Wintner averages. Let (X,F,μ,T)(X, \mathcal{F}, \mu, T) be a standard ergodic system. We will show that for any f1,f2L(X)f_1, f_2 \in L^\infty(X), the double recurrence Wiener-Wintner average 1Nn=1Nf1(Tanx)f2(Tbnx)e2πint \frac{1}{N} \sum_{n=1}^N f_1(T^{an}x)f_2(T^{bn}x) e^{2\pi i n t} converges off a single null set of XX independent of tt as NN \to \infty. Furthermore, we will show a uniform Wiener-Wintner double recurrence result: If either f1f_1 or f2f_2 belongs to the orthogonal complement of the Conze-Lesigne factor, then there exists a set of full measure such that the supremum on tt of the absolute value of the averages above converges to 00.
