Noncommutative multi-parameter Wiener-Wintner type ergodic theorem

Abstract: In this paper, we establish a multi-parameter version of Bellow and Losert's Wiener-Wintner type ergodic theorem for dynamical systems not necessarily being commutative. More precisely, we introduce a weight class $\mathcal{D}$, which is shown to strictly include the multi-parameter bounded Besicovitch weight class, thus including the set $$\Lambda_d=\left{{\lambda^{k_1}1\dotsm\lambda^{k_d}_d}{(k_1,\dots,k_d)\in \mathbb{N}^d}:\quad (\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_d) \in \mathbb{T}^d\right};$$ then prove a multi-parameter Bellow and Losert's Wiener-Wintner type ergodic theorem for the class $\mathcal{D}$ and for noncommutative trace preserving dynamical system $(\mathcal{M},\tau,\mathbf{T})$. Restricted to consider the set $\Lambda_d$, we also prove a noncommutative multi-parameter analogue of Bourgain's uniform Wiener-Wintner ergodic theorem. The noncommutativity and the multi-parameter induce some difficulties in the proof. For instance, our arguments in proving the uniform convergence for a dense subset turn out to be quite different since the "pointwise" argument does not work in the noncommutative setting; to obtain the uniform convergence in the largest spaces, we show maximal inequality between the Orlicz spaces, which can not be deduced easily using classical extrapolation argument. Junge and Xu's noncommutative maximal inequalities with optimal order, together with the atomic decomposition of Orlicz spaces, play an essential role in overcoming the second difficulty.
