Abstract

The pointwise theorem of Birkhoff establishes that ergodic averages associated with a measure preserving transformation converge almost everywhere. Over the years, this statement has been refined and generalized in many directions. In this talk, we will be interested in a pointwise theorem valid both for actions of amenable groups (rather than a single transformation) and in the noncommutative setting (actions on a noncommutative measure space). After a brief introduction of the literature leading up to this result, I will present the various techniques involved in its proof, notably noncommutative maximal inequalities, martingale theory and some tilings of amenable groups. 

This work is a collaboration with Simeng Wang (Harbin).
