Abstract

We show that the orbit of a point on a compact nilmanifold X under the action of a polynomial sequence of translations on X is well distributed on the union of several sub-nilmanifolds of X. This implies that the ergodic averages of a continuous function on X along a polynomial sequence of translations on X converge pointwise.
