Basic Ergodic Theory By M. G. Nadkarni

English | PDF | 2013 | 200 Pages | ISBN : 9380250436 | 14.26 MB

This book treats mainly some basic topics of ergodic theory in a revised form, bringing into focus its interactions with classical descriptive set theory more than is normally the practice. The presentation has a slow pace and can be read by anyone with a background in measure theory and point set topology. In particular, the first two chapters, the core of ergodic theory, can form a course of four to six lectures at third year B.Sc., M.Sc., or M.Phil. level in Indian Uni- versities. I have borrowed freely from existing texts ( with acknowledgements) but the overall theme of the book falls in the complement of these.
