Abstract

By employing an accelerated weighting method, we establish arbitrary polynomial and exponential pointwise convergence for multiple ergodic averages under general balancing conditions in both discrete and continuous settings, including quasi-periodic and almost periodic cases. This work breaks the well-known slow convergence rate observed in classical ergodic theory. We also present joint Diophantine rotations as explicit applications. Specifically, for the first time, by excluding nearly rational rotations with zero measure, we address the fundamental question of whether exponential pointwise convergence via analytic observables is universal, even when multiplicatively averaging over the infinite-dimensional torus $ \mathbb{T}^\infty $. We achieve this by introducing an innovative approach that effectively overcomes the previous difficulties. Moreover, by constructing counterexamples concerning multiple ergodicity, we highlight the indispensability of the joint nonresonance and establish the optimality of our weighting method in preserving rapid convergence. We also provide numerical simulations and analysis to further illustrate and validate our results.
