Abstract

A criterion of joint ergodicity of several sequences of transformations of a probability measure space $X$ of the form $T_{i}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{i}(n)}$ is given for the case where $T_{i}$ are commuting measure-preserving transformations of $X$ and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{i}$ are integer-valued generalized linear functions, that is, the functions formed from conventional linear functions by an iterated use of addition, multiplication by constants, and the greatest integer function. We also establish a similar criterion for joint ergodicity of families of transformations depending on a continuous parameter, as well as a condition of joint ergodicity of sequences $T_{i}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D711}_{i}(n)}$ along primes.
