Norm convergence for generalized polynomials (ℓ=2, weakly mixing)
Determine whether for every weakly mixing invertible measure-preserving transformation T and every pair of generalized polynomials a_1,a_2:ℤ→ℤ the double average (1/N)∑_{n=1}^N T^{a_1(n)}f_1·T^{a_2(n)}f_2 converges in L^2(μ) for all f_1,f_2∈L^∞(μ).

While the case $\ell=1$ of Problem \ref{Pr: norm convergence gen polys} follows from the spectral theorem and the characterization of bounded generalized polynomials from , the problem remains even open for $\ell=2$ and $T$ weakly mixing systems.
