We show that ergodic flows in the noncommutative [Formula: see text]-space (associated with a semifinite von Neumann algebra) generated by continuous semigroups of positive Dunford–Schwartz operators and modulated by bounded Besicovitch almost periodic functions converge almost uniformly. The corresponding local ergodic theorem is also proved. We then extend these results to arbitrary noncommutative fully symmetric spaces and present applications to noncommutative Orlicz (in particular, noncommutative [Formula: see text]-spaces), Lorentz, and Marcinkiewicz spaces. The commutative counterparts of the results are derived.

Let (Φ t ) t∈ℝ+ be a Harris ergodic continuous-time Markov process on a general state space, with invariant probability measure π. We investigate the rates of convergence of the transition function P t (x, ·) to π; specifically, we find conditions under which r(t)||P t (x, ·) − π|| → 0 as t → ∞, for suitable subgeometric rate functions r(t), where ||·|| denotes the usual total variation norm for a signed measure. We derive sufficient conditions for the convergence to hold, in terms of the existence of suitable points on which the first hitting time moments are bounded. In particular, for stochastically ordered Markov processes, explicit bounds on subgeometric rates of convergence are obtained. These results are illustrated in several examples.
