Wiener's lemma along primes and other subsequences (Q1735473): Difference between revisions

Wiener's lemma [\textit{N. Wiener} and \textit{A. Wintner}, Am. J. Math. 63, 415--426 (1941; Zbl 0025.06504)] relates the asymptotic behaviour of the Fourier coefficients of a complex Borel measure on the unit circle with its atomic part. Here the question of what conclusions can be drawn in the same spirit from knowledge of the Fourier coefficients along various subsequences of the integers of arithmetic interest (polynomials, primes, polynomials of primes), and these results are then related to ergodic notions like rigidity, return times, and strong sweeping out. In addition some of these ideas are applied to orbits of operators on Banach spaces, extending results of \textit{J. A. Goldstein} [Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 25, No. 4, 369--376 (1993; Zbl 0794.47025)] and of \textit{J. A. Goldstein} and \textit{B. Nagy} [Ill. J. Math. 39, No. 3, 441--449 (1995; Zbl 0841.47022)].
