Borel methods of summability and ergodic theorems

For \(\alpha >0\) and a sequence \(x=(\xi_n)\) of numbers (vectors), set \[ B_\alpha(t,x) =\alpha e^{-t}\sum^\infty_{n=0} {t^{n\alpha} \over\Gamma (n \alpha+1)} \xi_n,\;t>0. \] If \(\lim_{t\to\infty} B_\alpha(t,x)= \xi\), then one can say that \((\xi_n)\) is summable to \(\xi\) by the method \(B_\alpha\) and write \(B_\alpha \text{-lim} \xi_n=\xi\). For \(\alpha',\alpha >0\), \(B_{\alpha'} \text{-lim}\xi_n= \xi\) and \(B_{\alpha} \text{-lim} \xi_n=\eta\) implies \(\xi=\eta\). For the purposes of the paper under review, it is enough to take \(\alpha=2^{-k}\), \(k=0,1,2,\dots\) The main results of the paper are uniform, individual and mean ergodic theorems for operators, acting on a Banach space, with spectrum contained in \(\mathbb{C} \setminus (1,\infty)\). For example, the author obtains the following uniform ergodic theorem: Let \(u\in B(X)\) with \(\sigma(u) \subset\mathbb{C} \setminus(1, \infty)\). If \(1\notin \sigma(u)\) then there exists \(k\in\mathbb{N}\) such that \(B_{2^{ -k}} \text{-lim}_n u^n=0\) in the uniform operator topology. If \(1\in\sigma (u) \subset \mathbb{C}\setminus (1,\infty)\) and 1 is a pole of order one, then \(B_{2^{-k}} \text{-lim}_n u^n= E\{1\}\) uniformly, where \(E\{1\}\) denotes the spectral projection of \(u\) at \(\{1\}\).
