Abstract: Tao has recently proved that if $T_1,\mathrm{...},T_l$ are commuting, invertible, measure-preserving transformations on a dynamical system then for any $L^{i}nfty$ functions $f_1,\mathrm{...},f_l$, the average $frac1Nsu{m}_{n=0}^{N-1}pro{d}_{ileql}{f}_{i}circ{T}_i^n$ converges in the $L^2$ norm. Tao's proof is unusual in that it translates the problem into a more complicated statement about the combinatorics of finite spaces by using the Furstenberg correspondence "backwards". In this paper, we give an ergodic proof of this theorem, essentially a translation of Tao's argument to the ergodic setting. In order to do this, we develop two new variations on the usual Furstenberg correspondence, both of which take recurrence-type statements in one dynamical system and give equivalent statements in a different dynamical system with desirable properties.
