Abstract
We prove that for any dynamical system (X,Σ, m, T), the maximal operator defined by
N*f(x)=supn(1/n)#{1≦ i:(f(Tix)/i)≧ (1/n)}
is almost everywhere finite for f in the Orlicz class Lloglog L(X), extending a result of Assani. As an application, a weighted return times theorem is also proved.
