On rates in mean ergodic theorems (Q2428787)

In recent years, considerable emphasis has been put on the study of convergence rates in limit theorems arising in probability and ergodic theory. The basic result here is, of course, the ergodic theorem in its forms regarding almost everywhere convergence and convergence in norm. The present paper unifies and generalizes results due to Assani, Cohen, Cuny, Derrienic and Lin dealing with rates in mean ergodic theorems in a number of cases. In particular, it is proven that the Cesàro means of a power-bounded operator applied to elements from the domain of its abstract one-sided ergodic Hilbert transform decay logarithmically, and this decay is best possible under natural spectral assumptions.
