Abstract: For a measure preserving transformation T of a probability space (X,mathcalF,mu) we investigate almost sure and distributional convergence of random variables of the form x o frac{1}{C_n} sum_{i_1<n,...,i_d<n} f(T^{i_1}x,...,T^{i_d}x),, n=1,2,..., where f (called the emph{kernel}) is a function from Xd to R and C1,C2,... are appropriate normalizing constants. We observe that the above random variables are well defined and belong to Lr(mu) provided that the kernel is chosen from the projective tensor product L_p(X_1,mathcal F_1, mu_1) otimes_{pi}...otimes_{pi} L_p(X_d,mathcal F_d, mu_d)subset L_p(mu^d) with p=d,r,,rin[1,infty). We establish a form of the individual ergodic theorem for such sequences. Next, we give a martingale approximation argument to derive a central limit theorem in the non-degenerate case (in the sense of the classical Hoeffding's decomposition). Furthermore, for d=2 and a wide class of canonical kernels f we also show that the convergence holds in distribution towards a quadratic form summ=1inftylambdametam2 in independent standard Gaussian variables eta1,eta2,.... Our results on the distributional convergence use a T--,invariant filtration as a prerequisite and are derived from uni- and multivariate martingale approximations.
