Abstract

We prove that for any bounded functions f1, f2 on a measure-preserving dynamical system (X, T) and any distinct integers a1, a2, for almost every x the sequence

$${f_1}\left( {{T^{{a_1}n}}x} \right){f_2}\left( {{T^{{a_2}n}}x} \right)$$

is a good weight for the pointwise ergodic theorem. 1. Introduction
