Ergodic Theory, Groups, and Geometry - Robert J Zimmer and Dave Witte Morris

This classic book is based on lectures given by the author at the University of Chicago in 1956. The topics covered include, in particular, recurrence, the ergodic theorems, and a general discussion of ergodicity and mixing properties. There is also a general discussion of the relation between conjugacy and equivalence. With minimal prerequisites of some analysis and measure theory, this work can be used for a one-semester course in ergodic theory or for self-study.

Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in number theory.
