Distributional behavior of time averages of non-\(L^1\) observables in one-dimensional intermittent maps with infinite invariant measures (Q2350110)

The authors have made an important first step for a foundation of the third distributional limit theorem in infinite ergodic theory, after the first by Birkhoff and the second by Mittag-Leffler. They consider maps \([0,1]\to [0,1]\) with indifferent fixed points and having infinite invariant measures. An observation function is non-integrable on this measure if its value at the indifferent fixed point is zero. If the generalized arc-sine distribution is applied to this function, it gives the trivial result that time averages converge to zero. The distributional limit theorem in the article gives a non-trivial broad distribution of normalized time averages. This distribution for such observation function is refined by introducing a normalizing sequence. The proof is based on the theory of the continuous accumulation processes.
