These notes are based on one term's M.Sc. course given in Warwick University, Autumn 1970.
for the course was
basic knowledge of measure theory and integration such as covered by
[1].
Espacially, the Radon Nikodym theorem is assumed.
In the history of Ergodic Theory there were three major breakthroughs.
The first was Birkhoff's individual ergodic theorem(lJ
The second was the introduction of entropy by Kollllogorov (1)[2) and Sinai (1].
The third was Sinai's weak isomorphism [2] and Ornstein's
isomorphisms theorem for
[4][5].
shifts and other results [1](2](3)
See also Friedman, Ornstein [1].
All these steps were Since my purpose was to
achieved without the use of spectral theory. introduce the stUdents
to the recent development, I chose to
omit spectral theory from the discussion.
Other important and
beautiful topics which are not mentioned are ergodic theory of operators, the problem of invariant measures and measurable transformation on spaces of infinite measure. expository works: Friedman [1] ;
We refer the reader to the following
Billingsley [1] ; Halmos [2]
Hokhlin [2] : and Sinai
Jacobs [1] ;
[4].
In the treatment of entropy theory I avoided using uncountable partitions and preferred the use of sub-a-fields.
80, these notes
are in the spirit of Billingsley [1) rather than Parry [i ], Rokhlin and Sinai [4). The symbol
invites the reader to complete a missing
arguement, or sometimes, a whole proof.
