A Non-commutative Individual Ergodic Theorem Along Sparse Random Subsequences

RESUMO

Let $(M,\tau)$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra, let $J$ be a trace-preserving Jordan isomorphism, and let $(n_k)_{k\geq 1}$ be a random increasing sequence of integers obtained by selecting each integer $n\geq 1$ independently with probability $n^{-\alpha}$, where $0<\alpha<\frac12$. We show that, almost surely, for every $x\in L^1(M)$, $ \frac1m\sum_{k=1}^m J^{n_k}(x)$ converges bilaterally almost uniformly. This extends LaVictoire's classical random $L^1$ ergodic theorem to the non-commutative setting.
