Let $\mathcal N$ be a von Neumann algebra equipped with a normal faithful semifinite trace, and let $\gamma$ be a trace-preserving automorphism of $\mathcal N$. We consider the ergodic averages along the prime numbers \[ A_N(x) := \frac1{|P_N|} \sum_{q\in P_N}\gamma^q(x), \qquad P_N:=\{q\leq N:q\ \text{is prime}\}. \] For every $1<p<\infty$, we prove a strong maximal inequality for $(A_N)_{N\geq2}$ on $L_p(\mathcal N)$ and that $A_N(x)$ converges bilaterally almost uniformly for every $x\in L_p(\mathcal N)$. The proof exploits the circle method and a noncommutative sampling principle. For the convergence result, Bourgain's commutative argument uses pointwise maximal functions and exceptional sets. These tools are not available in the noncommutative setting. Instead, we show that the tails of the ergodic averages tend to zero in $L_2(\mathcal N;\ell_\infty)$ and that the difference from the limit belongs to $L_2(\mathcal N;c_0)$. This gives the desired b.a.u. convergence, and provides a positive answer to one question left open in \cite{ChenHongWang+arXiv2024}.
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, fo...

We establish a noncommutative version of a familiar Johnson--Maurey--Schechtman--Tzafriri Theorem, by showing that for any $0<p<2$ and a (not necessarily semifinite) von Neumann algebra $\mathcal{M}$ on a separable Hilbert space, if a symmetric quasi-Banach function space $E(0,1) $ containing the function $t\mapsto t^{...

Let $\mu$ be a log-concave probability measure on $\mathbb R^n$ and let $f\colon\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R^k$ be a polynomial mapping of degree at most $d$. We show that \[ \mu(f\in A) \le C\bigl(\lambda_k(A)\bigr)^{\frac{1}{k(d-1)+1}} \] for every Borel set $A\subset\mathbb R^k$ whenever the image measure $\mu\circ f^{-1...
Let $X\subset \mathbb C^n$ be a closed pure $d$-dimensional complex analytic set. We associate to $X$ its set of projective asymptotic directions $$ \Sigma_\infty(X) :=\{\ell \in \mathbb P^{n-1}(\mathbb C):\ell\cap C_\infty(X)\ne\{0\}\}, $$ where $ C_\infty(X)$ is the total tangent cone at infinity. We prove the metric...
Let $n\geq 2$ and let $q$ be an odd prime power. The first aim of this paper is to prove that, for every $E\subset \mathbb{H}_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ and every $\lambda>0$, the following sharp rich-direction estimate holds \[ \left| \left\{ \vartheta\in D_n: M^{\mathrm{rd}}_{\mathbb{H}_n}\mathbf{1}_E(\vartheta)\geq\lambda \ri...

We establish new pointwise convergence results for weighted ergodic averages along sequences of the form \( (\lfloor a(n) \rfloor)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}, \) where $a(x)$ is a subpolynomial function in a Hardy field. For example, we establish pointwise convergence of logarithmic averages along sequences of the form $(\lflo...
