Abstract: We study in this paper the validity of the mean ergodic theorem along emph{left} Fo lner sequences in a countable amenable group $G$. Although the emph{weak} ergodic theorem always holds along emph{any} left Fo lner sequence in $G$, we provide examples where the emph{mean} ergodic theorem fails in quite dramatic ways. On the other hand, if $G$ does not admit any ICC quotients, e.g. if $G$ is virtually nilpotent, then we prove that the mean ergodic theorem does indeed hold along emph{any} left Fo lner sequence. In the case when a unitary representation of a countable amenable group is induced from a unitary representation of a "sufficiently thin" subgroup, we prove that the mean ergodic theorem holds along any left Fo lner sequence for this representation. Furthermore, we show that every countable (infinite) amenable group $L$ embeds into a countable group $G$ which admits a unitary representation with the property that for any left Fo lner sequence $(F_n)$ in $L$, there exists a sequence $(s_n)$ in $G$ such that the mean (but emph{not} the weak) ergodic theorem fails for this representation along the sequence $(F_n{s}_n)$. Finally, we provide examples of countable (not necessarily amenable) groups $G$ with proper, infinite-index subgroups $H$, so that the emph{pointwise} ergodic theorem holds for averages along emph{any} strictly increasing and nested sequence of finite subsets of the coset $G/H$.
