Bergelson–Leibman polynomial ergodic averages convergence conjecture

Let (X,X,μ)(X,\mathcal{X},\mu) be a probability space, let T1,,T ⁣:XXT_1,\ldots,T_\ell\colon X\to X be commuting, invertible measure-preserving transformations, let f1,,fL(μ)f_1,\ldots,f_\ell\in L^\infty(\mu), and let p1,,pZ[t]p_1,\ldots,p_\ell\in\mathbb{Z}[t]. Bergelson–Leibman conjecture. The limit

limN1Nn=1Nf1(T1p1(n)x)f(Tp(n)x)\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^{N}f_1(T_1^{p_1(n)}x)\cdot\ldots\cdot f_\ell(T_\ell^{p_\ell(n)}x)

exists in L2(μ)L^2(\mu). This is a general polynomial extension of multiple ergodic average convergence; the paper establishes several cases, while the full assertion is not resolved in the supplied context.
