Proof of Krylov-Bogoliubov theorem

Where can I find a proof (in English) of the Krylov-Bogoliubov theorem, which states if $X$ is a compact metric space and $T\colon X \to X$ is continuous, then there is a $T$-invariant Borel ...

Ergodicity of Convoluted White Noise

I have a question regarding ergodicity in infinite dimensional spaces. Let $\mathcal{D}$ be the space of distributions on a Schwartz space, and let $\mu$ be the white noise process which exists by ...

Non-integrable ergodic theory

Can anyone help me out with proofs/counterexamples? I'm working on an operator-valued multiplicative ergodic theorem and need what may(?) be a well-known fact. This fact (if true) would help me get ...

trivial map on $\sigma-$algebra $\mod{}0$ is trivial

Hi everyone! I am currently studying the basic theory of measurable actions and need the following result, which I am not able to prove myself. It is stated without a proof, so probably it should not ...

Given a probability \mu, can we always find a transformation T s.t. \mu is T-invariant?

It is true that, under some conditions, given a measure-preserving transformation $T$, we can always construct a $T$-invariant probability. I am wondering whether we can do a converse. See Parry's ...

Alternating colors on a line: infinitely often or converge?

Suppose we have intervals of alternating color on $\mathbb{R}$ (say, red / blue / red / blue / …). All intervals have independent length, with all red intervals distributed as $\mathbb{P}_{R}$, all ...

A random walk on random lines

I am wondering if this random walk remains finite with positive probability. Start with three lines $A,B,C$ that are extensions of an equilateral triangle. Let $p_0$ be one corner. Generate a line $...

Is there a continuous-time version of Kingman's subadditive decomposition theorem?

Kingman's subadditive ergodic theorem (see this article) states that if $x_{m,n}$ is a real valued process indexed on the set of pairs of non-negative integers $m < n$ satisfying: $x_{l,n} \le x_{...

exactness of the Gauss transformation

Dear all, I would like to know if the Gauss transformation T(x) = fractional part of 1/x, x in (0,1) (with the Gauss invariant probability measure) is an exact endomorphism (in the sense of Rokhlin). ...

Random walk is to diffusion as self-avoiding random walk is to ...?

One can view a random walk as a discrete process whose continuous analog is diffusion. For example, discretizing the heat diffusion equation (in both time and space) leads to random walks. Is there a ...

Birkhoff ergodic theorem for dynamical systems driven by a Wiener process

At the risk of asking a stupid question I have the following problem. Suppose I have a measure preserving dynamical system $(X, \mathcal{F}, \mu, T_s)$, where $X$ is a set $\mathcal{F}$ is a sigma-...

Iterated Circumcircle

Take three noncollinear points (a,b,c), compute the center of their circumcircle x, and replace a random one of a,b,c with x. Repeat. It seems this process may converge to a point, assuming no ...

Is the average first return time of a partitioned ergodic transformation just the number of elements in the partition?

For some reason my thinking is very fuzzy today, so I apologize for the following rather silly question below... Let $T$ be an ergodic transformation of $(X,\Omega, \mathbb{P})$ and let $X$ be ...

Finitarily Markovian Finite Factors of Bernoulli Schemes

By processes, I mean discrete, stationary stochastic processes, that is $(X,\mathcal{U},\mu,T)$ where $X$ is the set of doubly infinite sequences of some alphabet $A$, $\mathcal{U}$ is the $\sigma$-...
