Multilinear Wiener-Wintner type ergodic averages and its application

Abstract

In this paper, we extend the generalized Wiener-Wintner Theorem built by Host and Kra to the multilinear case under the hypothesis of pointwise convergence of multilinear ergodic averages. In particular, we have the following result: Let $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu,T)$ be a measure preserving system. Let $a$ and $b$ be two distinct non-zero integers. Then for any $f_{1},f_{2}\in L^{\infty}(\mu)$, there exists a full measure subset $X(f_{1},f_{2})$ of $X$ such that for any $x\in X(f_{1},f_{2})$, and any nilsequence $\textbf{b}=\{b_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}$, $$ \lim_{N\rightarrow \infty}\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=0}^{N-1}b_{n}f_{1}(T^{an}x)f_{2}(T^{bn}x)$$ exists.
