Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to give a survey over some major fields of current research in ergodic theory and to depict some cluster of problems and results in more detail. For other surveys see e.g. Rokhlin [1], [2], [5], Oxtoby [1], Halmos [1], [2], Jacobs [2], Ornstein [7], [8], Sinai [9], Friedman-Ornstein [2]. I didn’t aim at completeness at all and apologize to those authors who miss their papers in the bibliography, in particular Akcoglu, Sucheston and Jones who have done important work on iterates of operators recently.
