Multilinear Wiener-Wintner type ergodic averages and its application (Q6085058)

\textit{N. Wiener} and \textit{A. Wintner} [Am. J. Math. 63, 415--426 (1941; Zbl 0025.06504)] generalized the Birkhoff ergodic theorem by allowing rotating weights, giving pointwise almost everywhere convergence of ergodic sums of the form \[\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1}\mathrm{e}^{2\pi\mathrm{i}nt}f(T^nx),\] as \(N\to\infty\) for \(T\colon X\to X\) a measure-preserving transformation on a Lebesgue probability space and \(f\in L^{\infty}(X)\). Here a similar result is shown for sums of the form \[\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1}b_nf_1(T^{a_1n}x)f_2(T^{a_2n}x),\] where \(a_1\) and \(a_2\) are distinct integers, \(f_1,f_2\in L^{\infty}(X)\), and \(b=(b_n)\) is a nilsequence in the sense of the theory of non-conventional ergodic averages developed by \textit{B. Host} and \textit{B. Kra} [Nilpotent structures in ergodic theory. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (2018; Zbl 1433.37001)].
