Bergelson–Leibman polynomial ergodic averages convergence conjecture

About 17 years old · traced to

Let (X,X,μ)(X,\mathcal{X},\mu) be a probability space, let T1,…,Tℓ ⁣:X→XT_1,\ldots,T_\ell\colon X\to X be commuting, invertible measure-preserving transformations, let f1,…,fℓ∈L∞(μ)f_1,\ldots,f_\ell\in L^\infty(\mu), and let p1,…,pℓ∈Z[t]p_1,\ldots,p_\ell\in\mathbb{Z}[t]. Bergelson–Leibman conjecture. The limit

lim⁡N→∞1N∑n=1Nf1(T1p1(n)x)⋅…⋅fℓ(Tℓpℓ(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.
