Abstract: We prove that the divisor function $d(n)$ counting the number of divisors of the integer $n$, is a good weighting function for the pointwise ergodic theorem. For any measurable dynamical system $(X,mathcalA,u,au)$ and any $fin{L}^p(u)$, $p>1$, the limit ${\displaystyle }$ lim_{n o infty}{1over sum_{k=1}^{n} d(k)} sum_{k=1}^{n} d(k)f( au^k x)${\displaystyle }$ exists $u$-almost everywhere. We also obtain similar results for other arithmetical functions, like $heta(n)$ function counting the number of squarefree divisors of $n$ and the generalized Euler totient function $J_s(n)$, $s>0$. We use Bourgain's method, namely the circle method based on the shift model.
