Abstract

Given an ergodic dynamical system (X,B,m, τ) and a probability measure μ on the integers, define for all f ∈ L1(X) The almost everywhere convergence of the convolution powers μnf(x) depends on the properties of μ. If μ has finite and then for all f ∈ Lp(X), 1< p < ∞, exists for a.e. x. However, if m2(μ) is finite and E(μ)≠0, then there exists E∈B such that a.e. and a.e. In the case when m2(μ) is infinite and E(μ)=0 we give examples for which we have divergence and other examples which show convergence is possible.
