Ergodic Theory
Birkhoff's Theorem states that for any measure-preserving transformation on a probability space, the time averages of a function along the orbits of the transformation converge to the space average of that function, provided the transformation satisfies certain ergodic conditions. This theorem connects to the concept of long-term behavior in dynamical systems and is crucial for understanding how invariant measures relate to averages in ergodic theory.
congrats on reading the definition of Birkhoff's Theorem. now let's actually learn it.
