We establish a non-commutative analog of the classical Banach Principle on the almost everywhere convergence of sequences of measurable functions. The result is stated in terms of quasi-uniform (or almost uniform) convergence of sequences of measurable (with respect to a trace) operators affiliated with a semifinite von Neumann algebra. Then we discuss possible applications of this result.
We study a nonconventional ergodic average for asymptotically abelian weakly mixing C*-dynamical systems, related to a second iteration of Khinchin's recurrence theorem obtained by Bergelson in the measure-theoretic case. A noncommutative recurrence theorem for such systems is obtained as a corollary.
We consider the billiard map in the hypercube of . We obtain a language by coding the billiard map by the faces of the hypercube. We investigate the complexity function of this language. We prove that is the order of magnitude of the complexity.
