Zero-entropy extension of the multiple ergodic averages theorem

About 3 years old · traced to

Let (X,B,μ)(X,\mathscr{B},\mu) be a probability space and let T,R,S:X→XT,R,S:X\rightarrow X be measure-preserving automorphisms. Suppose that RR and SS commute, SS is weakly mixing, and let ℓ∈N\ell\in\mathbb{N} and p1,…,pℓ∈Q[x]p_1,\ldots,p_\ell\in\mathbb{Q}[x] be pairwise essentially distinct integer polynomials, each of degree at least 22. For f,h,g1,…,gℓ∈L∞(X,μ)f,h,g_1,\ldots,g_\ell\in L^\infty(X,\mu), with ∫Xgj dμ=0\int_Xg_j\,d\mu=0 for some 1≤j≤ℓ1\leq j\leq\ell, consider the corresponding polynomial multiple ergodic average. Zero-entropy conjecture. Theorem 1.7 remains true when TT 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.
