Description: Title: Group actions and non-commutative ergodic Theorems
Abstract: Starting from the work of Birkhoff, ergodic theory is one of the central themes in dynamical system. In this talk, we give a review of generalizations of ergodic Theorems with group actions and non-commutative measure spaces (von Neumann algebras), and show an ergodic theorem for groups with polynomial growth acting on von Neumann algebras. This is based on joint work with G. Hong and S. Wang.
