Abstract

We study mean convergence of multiple ergodic averages, where the iterates arise from smooth functions of polynomial growth that belong to a Hardy field. Our results include all logarithmico-exponential functions of polynomial growth, such as the functions <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="t Superscript 3 slash 2 Baseline comma t log t"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>t</mml:mi> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mn>3</mml:mn> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:mo>/</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> <mml:mn>2</mml:mn> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>t</mml:mi> <mml:mi>log</mml:mi> <mml:mo> ⁡ </mml:mo> <mml:mi>t</mml:mi> </mml:mrow> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">t^{3/2}, t\log t</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> and <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="e Superscript StartRoot log t EndRoot"> <mml:semantics> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>e</mml:mi> <mml:mrow class="MJX-TeXAtom-ORD"> <mml:msqrt> <mml:mi>log</mml:mi> <mml:mo> ⁡ </mml:mo> <mml:mi>t</mml:mi> </mml:msqrt> </mml:mrow> </mml:msup> <mml:annotation encoding="application/x-tex">e^{\sqrt {\log t}}</mml:annotation> </mml:semantics> </mml:math> </inline-formula> .
