Eisner Tanja - Operator Theoretic Aspects of Ergodic Theory [recurso electrónico] $c

What is Ergodic Theory? -- Topological Dynamical Systems -- Minimality and Recurrence -- The C*-algebra C(K) and the Koopman Operator -- Measure-Preserving Systems -- Recurrence and Ergodicity -- The Banach Lattice Lp and the Koopman Operator -- The Mean Ergodic Theorem -- Mixing Dynamical Systems -- Mean Ergodic Operators on C(K) -- The Pointwise Ergodic Theorem -- Isomorphisms and Topological Models -- Markov Operators -- Compact Semigroups and Groups -- Topological Dynamics Revisited -- The Jacobsde LeeuwGlicksberg Decomposition -- Dynamical Systems with Discrete Spectrum -- A Glimpse at Arithmetic Progressions -- Joinings -- The HostKra Tao Theorem -- More Ergodic Theorems -- Appendix A: Topology -- Appendix B: Measure and Integration Theory.- Appendix C: Functional Analysis -- Appendix D: The Riesz Representation Theorem -- Appendix E: Theorems of Eberlein, Grothendieck, and Ellis.;Stunning recent results by HostKra, GreenTao, and others, highlight the timeliness of this systematic introduction to classical ergodic theory using the tools of operator theory. Assuming no prior exposure to ergodic theory, this book provides a modern foundation for introductory courses on ergodic theory, especially for students or researchers with an interest in functional analysis. While basic analytic notions and results are reviewed in several appendices, more advanced operator theoretic topics are developed in detail, even beyond their immediate connection with ergodic theory. As a consequence, the book is also suitable for advanced or special-topic courses on functional analysis with applications to ergodic theory. Topics include: an intuitive introduction to ergodic theory an introduction to the basic notions, constructions, and standard examples of topological dynamical systems Koopman operators, Banach lattices, lattice and algebra homomorphisms, and the GelfandNaimark ...
