Random ergodic theorems for sub-Markovian operators
We give sufficient conditions for asymptotic stability of a Markov operator governing the evolution of measures due to the action of randomly chosen dynamical systems. We show that the existence of an invariant measure for the transition operator implies the existence of an invariant measure for the semigroup generated by the system.
For a dynamical system (X,T,μ), we investigate the connections between a metric invariant, the rank r(T), and a spectral invariant, the maximal multiplicity m(T). We build examples of systems for which the pair (m(T),r(T)) takes values (m,m) for any integer m ≥ 1 or (p-1, p) for any prime number p ≥ 3.
We prove ratio Tauberian theorems for relatively bounded functions and sequences in Banach spaces.
