Abstract

Let G be a locally compact σ -compact group with right Haar measure λ. A sequence {μn} of probabilities on G is called ergodic if for every f ∈ L1(G, λ) and t ∈ G we have ‖μn* (f − δt* f) ‖1 → 0. If T (t) is a bounded continuous representation of G by linear operators in a Banach space X, we define the μ,-average of T(t) by .
