Ergodic maps and measures #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
Let f : α → α be measure preserving with respect to a measure μ. We say f is ergodic with
respect to μ (or μ is ergodic with respect to f) if the only measurable sets s such that
f⁻¹' s = s are either almost empty or full.
In this file we define ergodic maps / measures together with quasi-ergodic maps / measures and provide some basic API. Quasi-ergodicity is a weaker condition than ergodicity for which the measure preserving condition is relaxed to quasi measure preserving.
Main definitions: #
pre_ergodic: the ergodicity condition without the measure preserving condition. This exists to share code between theergodicandquasi_ergodicdefinitions.ergodic: the definition of ergodic maps / measures.quasi_ergodic: the definition of quasi ergodic maps / measures.ergodic.quasi_ergodic: an ergodic map / measure is quasi ergodic.quasi_ergodic.ae_empty_or_univ': when the map is quasi measure preserving, one may relax the strict invariance condition to almost invariance in the ergodicity condition.
A map f : α → α is said to be pre-ergodic with respect to a measure μ if any measurable
strictly invariant set is either almost empty or full.

A map f : α → α is said to be ergodic with respect to a measure μ if it is measure
preserving and pre-ergodic.

A map f : α → α is said to be quasi ergodic with respect to a measure μ if it is quasi
measure preserving and pre-ergodic.
On a probability space, the (pre)ergodicity condition is a zero one law.
For a quasi ergodic map, sets that are almost invariant (rather than strictly invariant) are still either almost empty or full.
An ergodic map is quasi ergodic.
