Abstract:

Let $({T_n})$ be a sequence of linear operators acting on complex valued functions on a $\sigma$-finite measure space. Assume that each ${T_n}$ contracts all the $p$-norms, $1 \leq p \leq \infty ({\text {i}}{\text {.e}}{\text {.}}{\left \| {{T_n}} \right \|_p} \leq 1)$. It is shown that a.e. ${\lim _n}T_1^ * \cdots T_n^ * {T_n} \cdots {T_1}f$ exists for each ${L_p}$ function $f,1 < p < \infty$.
