We study the notion of joinings of W*-dynamical systems, building on ideas from measure theoretic ergodic theory. In particular we prove sufficient and necessary conditions for ergodicity in terms of joinings, and also briefly look at…

We study characterizations of ergodicity, weak mixing and strong mixing of W*-dynamical systems in terms of joinings and subsystems of such systems. Ergodic joinings and Ornstein's criterion for strong mixing are also discussed in this…

We show that typical extensions of ergodic systems inherit the triviality of pairwise independent self-joinings. This property (introduced by A. del Junco and D. Rudolph) is related with Rokhlin's famous multiple mixing problem and several…

Shortly after Szemer\'edi's proof that a set of positive upper density contains arbitrarily long arithmetic progressions, Furstenberg gave a new proof of this theorem using ergodic theory. This gave rise to the field of ergodic Ramsey…

In this paper, a polynomial version of Furstenberg joining is introduced and its structure is investigated. Particularly, it is shown that if all polynomials are non-linear, then almost every ergodic component of the joining is a direct…

Joinings are fundamental global objects in ergodic theory, yet in compact metric models one naturally observes only finite orbit-distance patterns. We bridge this gap by introducing multi-particle distance arrays, which sample finite orbit…

This text is written based on the author's publications during the period from 1991 to 2001. The work is devoted to the theory of Markov intertwining operators and joinings of measure-preserving group actions, as well as to their…

This text is addressed to students. It is a short story about some problems in ergodic theory, both related and independent. We discuss the factorization of transformations into the product of three involutions; Furstenberg's theorem on…

We show how classification of joinings of two dynamical systems can be used in some sparse equidistribution problems in homogeneous dynamics, and by using recent quantitative results about equidistribution theorems, one can deduce some…

Mixing for measure-preserving group actions is a fundamental notion in ergodic theory, with different phenomena arising for different acting groups. In 1993, Klaus Schmidt and Tom Ward proved that 2-mixing implies mixing of all orders for…

We extend the Nonconventional Ergodic Theorem for generic measures by Furstenberg, to several situations of interest arising from quantum dynamical systems. We deal with the diagonal state canonically associated to the product state (i.e.…

In 1949 V.A. Rokhlin introduced into ergodic theory the k-fold mixing and puzzled the mathematical community with the problem of the mismatch of these invariants. Here's what Rokhlin wrote: "The proposed work arose from the author's…

A collection of integer sequences is jointly ergodic if for every ergodic measure preserving system the multiple ergodic averages, with iterates given by this collection of sequences, converge in the mean to the product of the integrals. We…

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…

This is the text accompanying my Bourbaki seminar on the work of Einsiedler and Lindenstrauss on joinings. The first five sections surveys their proof of the classification of joinings of higher-rank torus actions on arithmetic quotients of…

Three topics in dynamical systems are discussed. In the first two sections we solve some open problems concerning, respectively, Furstenberg entropy of stationary dynamical systems, and uniformly rigid actions admitting a weakly mixing…

The purpose of this note is to present my understanding of Tim Austin's proof of the multiple ergodic theorem for commuting transformations, emphasizing on the use of joinings, extensions and factors. The existence of a sated extension,…

In this survey we present some recent applications of proof mining to the fixed point theory of (asymptotically) nonexpansive mappings and to the metastability (in the sense of Terence Tao) of ergodic averages in uniformly convex Banach…

We construct examples of minimal and uniquely ergodic systems realizing all possible behaviors in the interplay of measurable and topological nilfactors. To build such examples, we adapt an idea that stems from Furstenberg's construction of…

We consider a class of multi-layer interacting particle systems and characterize the set of ergodic measures with finite moments. The main technical tool is duality combined with successful coupling.
