On the ratio ergodic theorem for group actions

چکیده

We study the ratio ergodic theorem (RET) of Hopf for group actions. Under a certain technical condition, if a sequence of sets {Fn} in a group satisfy the RET, then there is a finite set E such that {EFn} satisfies the Besicovitch covering property. Consequently for the abelian group G = ⊕n=1Z there is no sequence Fn ⊆ G along which the RET holds, and in many finitely generated groups, including the discrete Heisenberg group and the free group on ≥ 2 generators, there is no (sub)sequence of balls, in the standard generators, along which the RET holds. On the other hand, in groups with polynomial growth (including the Heisenberg group, to which our negative results apply) there always exists a sequence of balls along which the RET holds if convergence is understood as a.e. convergence in density (i.e. omitting a sequence of density zero).

Individual ergodic theorem for intuitionistic fuzzy observables using intuitionistic fuzzy state

The classical ergodic theory hasbeen built on σ-algebras. Later the Individual ergodictheorem was studied on more general structures like MV-algebrasand quantum structures. The aim of this paper is to formulate theIndividual ergodic theorem for intuitionistic fuzzy observablesusing  m-almost everywhere convergence, where  m...

Non-linear ergodic theorems in complete non-positive curvature metric spaces

Hadamard (or complete $CAT(0)$) spaces are complete, non-positive curvature, metric spaces. Here, we prove a nonlinear ergodic theorem for continuous non-expansive semigroup in these spaces as well as a strong convergence theorem for the commutative case. Our results extend the standard non-linear ergodic theorems for non-expansive maps on real Hilbert spaces, to non-expansive maps on Ha...

A Ratio Ergodic Theorem for Multiparameter Non-singular Actions

We prove a ratio ergodic theorem for non-singular free Z and R actions, along balls in an arbitrary norm. Using a Chacon-Ornstein type lemma the proof is reduced to a statement about the amount of mass of a probability measure that can concentrate on (thickened) boundaries of balls in R. The proof relies on geometric properties of norms, including the Besicovitch covering lemma and the fact tha...

Ergodic Averages over Sparse Random Subsequences

We prove an L subsequence ergodic theorem for sequences chosen by independent random selector variables, thereby showing the existence of sparser universally L-good sequences than had been previously established. We extend this theorem to a more general setting of ergodic group actions.
