Abstract We prove convergence in norm and pointwise almost everywhere on$$L^p$$,$$p\in (1,\infty )$$, for certain multi-parameter polynomial ergodic averages by establishing the corresponding multi-parameter maximal and oscillation inequalities. Our result, in particular, gives an affirmative answer to a multi-parameter variant of the Bellow–Furstenberg problem. This paper is also the first systematic treatment of multi-parameter oscillation semi-norms which allows an efficient handling of multi-parameter pointwise convergence problems with arithmetic features. The methods of proof of our main result develop estimates for multi-parameter exponential sums, as well as introduce new ideas from the so-called multi-parameter circle method in the context of the geometry of backwards Newton diagrams that are dictated by the shape of the polynomials defining our ergodic averages.

Polynomial sequences in discrete nilpotent groups of step 2
Abstract We discuss some of our work on averages along polynomial sequences in nilpotent groups of step 2. Our main results include boundedness of associated maximal functions and singular integrals operators, an almost everywhere pointwise convergence theorem for ergodic averages along polynomial sequences, and a nilpotent Waring theorem. Our proofs are based on analytical tools, such as a nilpotent Weyl inequality, and on complex almost-orthogonality arguments that are designed to replace Fourier transform tools, which are not available in the noncommutative nilpotent setting. In particular, we present what we call anilpotent circle methodthat allows us to adapt some of the ideas of the classical circle method to the setting of nilpotent groups.

Abstract We establish pointwise convergence for nonconventional ergodic averages taken along $$\lfloor p^{c}\rfloor $$, where $$p$$ is a prime number and $$c\in (1,4/3)$$ on $$L^{r}$$, $$r\in (1,\infty )$$. In fact, we consider averages along more general sequences $$\lfloor h(p)\rfloor $$, where $$h$$ belongs in a wide class of functions, the so-called $$c$$-regularly varying functions. We also establish uniform multiparameter oscillation estimates for our ergodic averages and the corresponding multiparameter pointwise ergodic theorem in the spirit of Dunford and Zygmund. A key ingredient of our approach are certain exponential sum estimates, which we also use for establishing a Waring-type result. Assuming that the Riemann zeta function has any zero-free strip upgrades our exponential sum estimates to polynomially saving ones and this makes a conditional result regarding the behavior of our ergodic averages on $$L^{1}$$ to not seem entirely out of reach.more » « less

We are interested in the number of nodal domains of eigenfunctions of sub-Laplacians on sub-Riemannian manifolds. Specifically, we investigate the validity of Pleijel’s theorem, which states that, as soon as the dimension is strictly larger than , the number of nodal domains of an eigenfunction corresponding to the -th eigenvalue is strictly (and uniformly, in a certain sense) smaller than for large . In the first part of this paper we reduce this question from the case of general sub-Riemannian manifolds to that of nilpotent groups. In the second part, we analyze in detail the case where the nilpotent group is a Heisenberg group times a Euclidean space. Along the way, we improve known bounds on the optimal constants in the Faber–Krahn and isoperimetric inequalities on these groups.more » « less

The Springer resolution of the nilpotent cone is used to give a geometric construction of the irreducible representations of Weyl groups. Borho and MacPherson obtain the Springer correspondence by applying the decomposition theorem to the Springer resolution, establishing an injective map from the set of irreducible Weyl group representations to simple equivariant perverse sheaves on the nilpotent cone. In this manuscript, we consider a generalization of the Springer resolution using a variety defined by the first author. Our main result shows that in the type A case, applying the decomposition theorem to this map yields all simple perverse sheaves on the nilpotent cone with multiplicity as predicted by Lusztig’s generalized Springer correspondence.more » « less

Abstract We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for joint ergodicity results for systems of commuting measure preserving transformations for an iterated Hardy field function of polynomial growth. Our method builds on and improves recent techniques due to Frantzikinakis and Tsinas, who dealt with multiple ergodic averages along Hardy field functions; it also enhances an approach introduced by the authors and Ferré Moragues to study polynomial iterates. The more general expression, in which the iterate is a linear combination of a Hardy field function of polynomial growth and a tempered function, is studied as well.more » « less
