Abstract

We construct infinite-dimensional chains that are L¹ good for almost sure convergence, which settles a question raised in this journal [N]. We give some conditions for a coprime generated chain to be bad for L² or L, using the entropy method. It follows that such a chain with positive lower density is bad for L. There also exist such bad chains with zero density.

Keywords

dimension, chains, almost sure convergence, universally good, density
