Zero-entropy extension of the multiple ergodic averages theorem
Zero-entropy extension of the multiple ergodic averages theorem
Let be a probability space and let be measure-preserving automorphisms. Suppose that and commute, is weakly mixing, and let and be pairwise essentially distinct integer polynomials, each of degree at least . For , with for some , consider the corresponding polynomial multiple ergodic average. Zero-entropy conjecture. Theorem 1.7 remains true when has zero entropy, rather than singular spectrum. This would substantially extend the theorem beyond the singular-spectrum hypothesis; the source presents it as an open conjectural extension motivated by the vanishing of most multiple correlations in the proof.
