Abstract We prove that all invariant random subgroups of the lamplighter group L are co-sofic. It follows that L is permutation stable, providing an example of an infinitely presented such group. Our proof applies more generally to all permutational wreath products of finitely generated abelian groups. We rely on the pointwise ergodic theorem for amenable groups.

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 $L^{p}$, $p>1$.

AbstractWe use Series' Markovian coding for words in Fuchsian groups and the Bowen-Series coding of limit sets to prove an ergodic theorem for Cesàro averages of spherical averages in a Fuchsian group.
