Abstract

Consider a uniquely ergodic C * -dynamical system based on a unital *-endomorphism Φ of a C * -algebra. We prove the uniform convergence of Cesaro averages 1 n ∑ k = 0 n - 1 λ - n Φ ( a ) for all values λ in the unit circle, which are not eigenvalues corresponding to "measurable non-continuous" eigenfunctions. This result generalizes an analogous one, known in commutative ergodic theory, which turns out to be a combination of the Wiener-Wintner theorem and the uniformly convergent ergodic theorem of Krylov and Bogolioubov.

Keywords: C*-dynamical systems; ergodic theorems.
