Abstract
In this paper we establish a variety or results in ergodic theory by using techniques from probability and analysis. We discuss divergence of operators, including strong sweeping out and Bourgain's entropy method. We consider square functions, oscillation operators, and variational operators for ergodic averages. We also consider almost everywhere convergence of convolution powers.
