The sub-σ-algebra of T-invariant measurable sets on (α, m₀): those
s ∈ m₀ satisfying T⁻¹(s) = s. This is the invariant σ-algebra 𝓘
appearing on the right-hand side of Birkhoff's ergodic theorem.
Instances For
Birkhoff's ergodic theorem (a.s. form). Let T be a measure-preserving
transformation of the probability space (α, m₀, μ) and let g ∈ L¹(μ). Then
the time averages
(1/n) ∑_{m=0}^{n-1} g(T^m ω)
converge μ-almost surely to the conditional expectation E(g | 𝓘), where
𝓘 = invariantMeasurableSpace m₀ T is the σ-algebra of T-invariant
measurable sets (Durrett, Lecture 33).
Birkhoff's ergodic theorem (L¹ form). Under the same hypotheses as
birkhoff_ergodic_theorem, the Birkhoff averages converge to
E(g | 𝓘) in L¹(μ): the L¹ distance
∫ ‖A_n g - E(g | 𝓘)‖ dμ tends to 0 as n → ∞.
Birkhoff's ergodic theorem (combined). Combines birkhoff_ergodic_theorem
and birkhoff_ergodic_theorem_L1: the Birkhoff averages of g ∈ L¹(μ) under
a measure-preserving T converge to E(g | 𝓘) both μ-almost surely and
in L¹(μ).
