On the multiple recurrence properties for disjoint systems

Abstract

We consider a mutually disjoint family of measure preserving transformations T-1, ... , T-k on a probability space (X, B, mu). We obtain the multiple recurrence property of T-1, ... , T-k and this result is utilized to derive multiple recurrence of Poincare type in metric spaces. We also present the multiple recurrence property of Khintchine type. Further, we study multiple ergodic averages of disjoint systems and we show that T-1, ... , T-k are uniformly jointly ergodic if each T-i is ergodic.
