Ergodic theorem, ergodic theory, and statistical mechanics.
This perspective highlights the mean ergodic theorem established by John von Neumann and the pointwise ergodic theorem established by George Birkhoff, proofs of which were published nearly simultaneously in PNAS in 1931 and 1932. These theorems were of great significance both in mathematics and in statistical mechanics. In statistical mechanics they provided a key insight into a 60-y-old fundam...
متن کاملSzemerédi’s Theorem via Ergodic Theory
This essay investigates Furstenberg’s proof of Szemerédi’s Theorem. The necessary concepts and results from ergodic theory are introduced, including the Poincaré and Mean Ergodic Theorems which are proved in full. The Ergodic Decomposition Theorem is also discussed. Furstenberg’s Multiple Recurrence Theorem is then stated and shown to imply Szemerédi’s Theorem. The remainder of the essay concen...
متن کاملErgodic hypothesis in classical statistical mechanics
An updated discussion on physical and mathematical aspects of the ergodic hypothesis in classical equilibrium statistical mechanics is presented. Then a practical attitude for the justification of the microcanonical ensemble is indicated. It is also remarked that the difficulty in proving the ergodic hypothesis should be expected.
متن کاملKingman's Subadditive Ergodic Theorem Kingman's Subadditive Ergodic Theorem
A simple proof of Kingman’s subadditive ergodic theorem is developed from a point of view which is conceptually algorithmic and which does not rely on either a maximal inequality or a combinatorial Riesz lemma.
متن کاملStrongly Ergodic Sequences of Integers and the Individual Ergodic Theorem
Let S = {ki,ki, ...} be an increasing sequence of positive integers. We call S strongly ergodic if for every measure preserving transformation T on a probability space (Cl, J, P) and every / £ Li(f2) we have limn-»oo(l/n) J^^j f(TkiuJ) = Pf(w) a.e. where Pf is the appropriate limit guaranteed by the individual ergodic theorem. We give sufficient conditions for a sequence S to be strongly ergodi...
