Semirandom pointwise averaging conjecture

Let (\mathbbmun)n1(\mathbbm u_n)_{n\geq 1} be a decreasing sequence of probabilities, and let δ>0\delta>0. Suppose

\mathbbmunn(loglogn)1+δ\mathbbm u_n\cdot \frac{n}{(\log\log n)^{1+\delta}}\to\infty

and

\mathbbmun0.\mathbbm u_n\to 0.

Semirandom pointwise averaging conjecture. Then the random sequence Rω={r1<r2<r3<}R^\omega=\{r_1<r_2<r_3<\dots\} satisfies, in every dynamical system, for bounded functions FiF_i,

limN1Nn<NTnF1(x)TrnF2(x)=F1F2\lim_{N\to\infty}\frac1N\sum_{n<N}T^nF_1(x)T^{r_n}F_2(x)=\overline F_1\,\overline F_2

for almost every xXx\in X, where Fi\overline F_i is the projection of FiF_i to the TT-invariant functions.

The supplied context gives a related theorem with the stronger condition involving n1/2/log3+δnn^{1/2}/\log^{3+\delta}n, and explains that the zero-density assumption is necessary for the stated limit. The conjectural statement's resolution is not supplied here.
