I guess it is a standard question in ergodic theory but I failed to find any reference to similar problems and I have no clue on how to tackle it.
Let $(B_{t})_{t\in \mathbb{R}}$ be a standard ...

Maximal ergodic inequality
A map $f: X \to X$ preserves an ergodic probability $\mu$, i.e., $\mu \circ f^{-1}=\mu$ and for any $\phi: X \to \mathbb{R}$ with $\int \phi d\mu=0$,
$$\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i \le n} \phi \circ f^i \to 0 \...

When the Jacobian of unstable measure converges
Let $T:X \to X$ be a hyperbolic map on the compact metric space $X$. Hyperbolicity means that $T$ has local stable and unstable sets with uniform exponential bounds, which satisfy a local product ...

Does Irreducibility holds for the Ergodic non-stationary Markov chain?
In the stationary case, I know that if the chain is irreducible and aperiodic, it is Ergodic. But in the non-stationary case, i can not comprehend the content deeply. I want to know if Irreducibility ...
