Abstract: We show that for any countable amenable group action, along F{o}lner sequences that have for any c>1 a two sided c-tempered tail, one have universal estimate for the probability that there are n fluctuations in the ergodic averages of Linfty functions, and this estimate gives exponential decay in n. Any two-sided F{o}lner sequence can be thinned out to satisfy the above property, and in particular, any countable amenble group admits such a sequence. This extends results of S. Kalikow and B. Weiss for mathbbZd actions and of N. Moriakov for actions of groups with polynomial growth.


\textit{S. Kalikow} and \textit{B. Weiss} [Ill. J. Math. 43, No. 3, 480--488 (1999; Zbl 0935.28006)] used an effective Vitali covering theorem to obtain universal estimates for the probability that there are many fluctuations (above and below the limit by specified amounts) in the ergodic averages of a probability-preserving \(\mathbb{Z}^d\) action. Estimates of this sort had been obtained earlier for single transformations (that is, actions of \(\mathbb{Z}\)) by \textit{A. G. Kachurovskii} [Russ. Math. Surv. 51, No. 4, 653--703 (1996; Zbl 0880.60024); translation from Usp. Mat. Nauk 51, No. 4, 73--124 (1996)] and in the work of \textit{R. L. Jones} et al. [Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 18, No. 4, 889--935 (1998; Zbl 0924.28009)]. \textit{N. Moriakov} [Stud. Math. 240, No. 3, 255--273 (2018; Zbl 1392.28013)] extended these results to groups of polynomial growth, and here these are further extended to amenable groups for ergodic averages along bi-tempered Følner sequences. The approach uses machinery developed by \textit{E. Lindenstrauss} [Invent. Math. 146, No. 2, 259--295 (2001; Zbl 1038.37004)] and \textit{B. Weiss} [Lond. Math. Soc. Lect. Note Ser. 310, 226--262 (2003; Zbl 1079.37002)].
