Let $m\in \mathbb{N}$ and $\mathbf{X}=(X,{\mathcal{X}},\unicode[STIX]{x1D707},(T_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}})_{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\in \mathbb{R}^{m}})$ be a measure-preserving system with an $\mathbb{R}^{m}$-action. We say that a Borel measure $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$ on $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ is weakly equidistributed for $\mathbf{X}$ if there exists $A\subseteq \mathbb{R}$ of density 1 such that, for all $f\in L^{\infty }(\unicode[STIX]{x1D707})$, we have $$\begin{eqnarray}\lim _{t\in A,t\rightarrow \infty }\int _{\mathbb{R}^{m}}f(T_{t\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}x)\,d\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC})=\int _{X}f\,d\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}\end{eqnarray}$$ for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$-almost every $x\in X$. Let $W(\mathbf{X})$ denote the collection of all $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\in \mathbb{R}^{m}$ such that the $\mathbb{R}$-action $(T_{t\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}})_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$ is not ergodic. Under the assumption of the pointwise convergence of the double Birkhoff ergodic average, we show that a Borel measure $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$ on $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ is weakly equidistributed for an ergodic system $\mathbf{X}$ if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}(W(\mathbf{X})+\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD})=0$ for every $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FD}\in \mathbb{R}^{m}$. Under the same assumption, we also show that $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$ is weakly equidistributed for all ergodic measure-preserving systems with $\mathbb{R}^{m}$-actions if and only if $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}(\ell )=0$ for all hyperplanes $\ell$ of $\mathbb{R}^{m}$. Unlike many equidistribution results in literature whose proofs use methods from harmonic analysis, our results adopt a purely ergodic-theoretic approach.

Let$T$be an ergodic measure-preserving transformation on a non-atomic probability space$(X,\unicode[STIX]{x1D6F4},\unicode[STIX]{x1D707})$. We prove uniform extensions of the Wiener–Wintner theorem in two settings: for averages involving weights coming from Hardy field functions $p$,$$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle \bigg\{\frac{1}{N}\mathop{\sum }_{n\leq N}e(p(n))T^{n}f(x)\bigg\}; & & \displaystyle \nonumber\end{eqnarray}$$and for ‘twisted’ polynomial ergodic averages,$$\begin{eqnarray}\displaystyle \bigg\{\frac{1}{N}\mathop{\sum }_{n\leq N}e(n\unicode[STIX]{x1D703})T^{P(n)}f(x)\bigg\} & & \displaystyle \nonumber\end{eqnarray}$$for certain classes of badly approximable$\unicode[STIX]{x1D703}\in [0,1]$. We also give an elementary proof that the above twisted polynomial averages converge pointwise$\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$-almost everywhere for$f\in L^{p}(X),p>1,$and arbitrary$\unicode[STIX]{x1D703}\in [0,1]$.

For any measure-preserving system $(X,{\mathcal{B}},\unicode[STIX]{x1D707},T_{1},\ldots ,T_{d})$ with no commutativity assumptions on the transformations $T_{i},$$1\leq i\leq d,$ we study the pointwise convergence of multiple ergodic averages with iterates of different growth coming from a large class of sublinear functions. This class properly contains important subclasses of Hardy field functions of order zero and of Fejér functions, i.e., tempered functions of order zero. We show that the convergence of the single average, via an invariant property, implies the convergence of the multiple one. We also provide examples of sublinear functions which are, in general, bad for convergence on arbitrary systems, but good for uniquely ergodic systems. The case where the fastest function is linear is addressed as well, and we provide, in all the cases, an explicit formula of the limit function.

Suppose that $G$ is a compact Abelian topological group, $m$ is the Haar measure on $G$ and $f:G\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a measurable function. Given $(n_{k})$, a strictly monotone increasing sequence of integers, we consider the non-conventional ergodic/Birkhoff averages $$\begin{eqnarray}M_{N}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}f(x)=\frac{1}{N+1}\mathop{\sum }_{k=0}^{N}f(x+n_{k}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}).\end{eqnarray}$$ The $f$-rotation set is $$\begin{eqnarray}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{f}=\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\in G:M_{N}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}f(x)\text{ converges for }m\text{ almost every }x\text{ as }N\rightarrow \infty \}.\end{eqnarray}$$We prove that if $G$ is a compact locally connected Abelian group and $f:G\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a measurable function then from $m(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{f})>0$ it follows that $f\in L^{1}(G)$. A similar result is established for ordinary Birkhoff averages if $G=Z_{p}$, the group of $p$-adic integers. However, if the dual group, $\widehat{G}$, contains ‘infinitely many multiple torsion’ then such results do not hold if one considers non-conventional Birkhoff averages along ergodic sequences. What really matters in our results is the boundedness of the tail, $f(x+n_{k}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC})/k$, $k=1,\ldots ,$ for almost every $x$ for many $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$; hence, some of our theorems are stated by using instead of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{f}$ slightly larger sets, denoted by $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{f,b}$.

We show that $\unicode[STIX]{x1D714}(n)$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FA}(n)$, 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 in $L^{1}$. That is, if $g$ denotes one of these functions and $S_{g,K}=\sum _{n\leq K}g(n)$, then for every ergodic dynamical system $(X,{\mathcal{A}},\unicode[STIX]{x1D707},\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F})$ and every $f\in L^{1}(X)$, $$\begin{eqnarray}\lim _{K\rightarrow \infty }\frac{1}{S_{g,K}}\mathop{\sum }_{n=1}^{K}g(n)f(\unicode[STIX]{x1D70F}^{n}x)=\int _{X}f\,d\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}\quad \text{for }\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}\text{ almost every }x\in X.\end{eqnarray}$$ This answers a question raised by Cuny and Weber, who showed this result for $L^{p}$, $p>1$.

AbstractLet ℝ denote the real line. Let {Tt}tєℝ be a measure preserving ergodic flow on a non atomic finite measure space (X, ℱ, μ). A nonnegative function φ on ℝ is called a weight function if ∫ℝ φ(t)dt = 1. Consider the weighted ergodic averagesof a function f X —> ℝ, where {θk} is a sequence of weight functions. Some sufficient and some necessary and sufficient conditions are given for the a.e. convergence of Akf, in particular for a special case in whichwhere φ is a fixed weight function and {(ak, rk)} is a sequence of pairs of real numbers such that rk > 0 for all k. These conditions are obtained by a combination of the methods of Bellow-Jones-Rosenblatt, developed to deal with moving ergodic averages, and the methods of Broise-Déniel-Derriennic, developed to deal with unbounded weight functions.

This paper considers the radial and nontangential growth of a function f given bywhere α>0 and μ is a complex-valued Borel measure on the unit circle. The main theorem shows how certain local conditions on μ near eiθ affect the growth of f(z) as z→eiθ in Stolz angles. This result leads to estimates on the nontangential growth of f where exceptional sets occur having zero β-capacity.

Let G be a locally compact topological group, with left-invariant Haar measure. If L1(G) is the usual class of complex functions which are integrable with respect to this measure, and μ is any bounded Borel measure on G, then the convolution-product μ⋆f, defined for any f in Li byis again in L1, and

We study double ergodic averages with respect to two general commuting transformations and establish a sharp quantitative result on their convergence in the norm. We approach the problem via real harmonic analysis, using recently developed methods for bounding multilinear singular integrals with certain entangled structure. A byproduct of our proof is a bound for a two-dimensional bilinear square function related to the so-called triangular Hilbert transform.

In this paper we extend Bourgain’s double recurrence result to the Wiener–Wintner averages. Let $(X,{\mathcal{F}},{\it\mu},T)$ be a standard ergodic system. We will show that for any $f_{1},f_{2}\in L^{\infty }(X)$, the double recurrence Wiener–Wintner average $$\begin{eqnarray}\frac{1}{N}\mathop{\sum }_{n=1}^{N}f_{1}(T^{an}x)f_{2}(T^{bn}x)e^{2{\it\pi}int}\end{eqnarray}$$ converges off a single null set of $X$ independent of $t$ as $N\rightarrow \infty$. Furthermore, we will show a uniform Wiener–Wintner double recurrence result: if either $f_{1}$ or $f_{2}$ belongs to the orthogonal complement of the Conze–Lesigne factor, then there exists a set of full measure such that the supremum on $t$ of the absolute value of the averages above converges to $0$.
