Abstract: We use model theory of metric structures to prove the pointwise convergence, with a uniform metastability rate, of averages of a polynomial sequence Tn (in Leibman's sense) of unitary transformations of a Hilbert space. As a special case, this applies to unitary sequences Up(n) where p is a polynomial mathbbZomathbbZ and U a fixed unitary operator; however, our convergence results hold for arbitrary Leibman sequences. As a case study, we show that the non-nilpotent "lamplighter group" mathbbZwrmathbbZ is realized as the range of a suitable quadratic Leibman sequence. We also indicate how these convergence results generalize to arbitrary Folner averages of unitary polynomial actions of any abelian group mathbbG in place of mathbbZ.
