Summary

This text is a rigorous introduction to ergodic theory, developing the machinery of conditional measures and expectations, mixing, and recurrence.

Beginning by developing the basics of ergodic theory and progressing to describe some recent applications to number theory, this book goes beyond the standard texts in this topic. Applications include Weyl’s polynomial equidistribution theorem, the ergodic proof of Szemeredi’s theorem, the connection between the continued fraction map and …

Critics Review

From the reviews: “A book with a wider perspective on ergodic theory, and yet with a focus on the interaction with number theory, remained a glaring need in the overall context of the development of the subject. … The book under review goes a long way in fulfilling this need. … it covers a good deal of conventional ground in ergodic theory … . a very welcome addition and would no doubt inspire interest in the area among researchers as well as students, and cater to it successfully.” (S. G. Dani, Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems, Vol. 32 (3), June, 2012)
