Abstract

Let T={T(u):ud+} be a strongly continuous d-dimensional semigroup of linear contractions on L1((Ω,Σ,μ);X), where (Ω,Σ,μ) is a σ-finite measure space and X is a reflexive Banach space. Since L1((Ω,Σ,μ);X)=L((Ω,Σ,μ);X), the adjoint semigroup T={T(u):ud+} becomes a weak*-continuous semigroup of linear contractions acting on L((Ω,Σ,μ);X). In this paper the local ergodic theorem is studied for the adjoint semigroup T*. Assuming that each T(u), ud+, has a contraction majorant P(u) defined on L1((Ω,Σ,μ);), that is, P(u) is a positive linear contraction on L1((Ω,Σ,μ);) such that T(u)f(ω)P(u)f(·)(ω) almost everywhere on Ω for every L1((Ω,Σ,μ);X), we prove that the local ergodic theorem holds for T*.
