Pointwise convergence of double Birkhoff averages for \b7R^m-systems

About 8 years old · traced to

Let (X,X,μ,(Tg)g∈Rm)(X,\mathcal{X},\mu,(T_g)_{g\in\mathbb{R}^{m}}) be an Rm\mathbb{R}^{m}-system, meaning a measure-preserving Rm\mathbb{R}^{m}-action. For f1,f2∈L∞(μ)f_1,f_2\in L^{\infty}(\mu) and α1,α2∈Rm\alpha_1,\alpha_2\in\mathbb{R}^{m}, consider the double Birkhoff average

lim⁡T→∞1T∫0Tf1(Tα1tx)f2(Tα2tx) dt.\lim_{T\to\infty}\frac{1}{T}\int_0^T f_1(T_{\alpha_1t}x)f_2(T_{\alpha_2t}x)\,dt.

Double Birkhoff averages conjecture. Every Rm\mathbb{R}^{m}-system is good for double Birkhoff averages: for every f1,f2∈L∞(μ)f_1,f_2\in L^{\infty}(\mu) and every α1,α2∈Rm\alpha_1,\alpha_2\in\mathbb{R}^{m}, the displayed limit exists for μ\mu-almost every x∈Xx\in X. If true, this would make the preceding characterization a complete answer to the weak equidistribution problem for dilated measures. The conjecture is stated in the source as an open question in ergodic theory.
