Abstract

'Almost all sequences (r 1, ..., r n, ...) of positive integers have the following "universal" property: Whenever (X, μ) is a Borel probability compact metric space, and Φ 1, Φ 2, ..., Φ n, ... a sequence of commuting measure preserving continuous maps on (X, μ), such that the action (by composition) on (X, μ) of the semigroup with generators Φ 1, ..., Φ n, ... is uniquely ergodic and equicontinuous, then for every x ∈ X the sequence w 1,w 2, ..., w n, ... where, is uniformly distributed for μ. This is a contribution to Problem 116 of Schreier and Ulam in the Scottish Book.
