This is the celebrated ergodic theorem, in an abstract form due to George David Birkhoff.

 Birkhoff's theorem (relativity) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Then Birkhoff's theorem says that the exterior geometry must be Schwarzschild; the only effect of the pulsation is to change the location of the stellar surface.
Another interesting consequence of Birkhoff's theorem is that for a spherically symmetric thin shell, the interior solution must be given by the Minkowski metric; in other words, the gravitational field must vanish inside a spherically symmetric shell.
Birkhoff's theorem can be generalized: any spherically symmetric solution of the Einstein/Maxwell field equations must be static and asymptotically flat, so the exterior geometry of a spherically symmetric charged star must be given by the Reissner-Nordström electrovacuum.

 Harmonic Analysis and Ergodic Theory
The traditional classes: ergodic, weak mixing, strong mixing, are easily seen to be Borel sets (when the probability space is separable and one uses the strong topology of operators on Hilbert space.) For mild mixing this is no longer so.
Abstract: We use the Koosis theorem to find the asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials for the case when a Szego measure on the unit circumference is perturbed by an arbitrary finite measure inside the unit disk and an arbitrary Blaschke sequence of point masses outside the unit disk.
Ergodic theorems are an extremely broad and rich field with wide application.

The theorem is then a sort of topological form of the particle-wave equivalence of quantum mechanics, and the quest for 'truly' understanding these and analogous dualities has been one of the great motivating forces in the mathematics of the last fifty years.
It is nevertheless certain that the theorem on the sum of the three angles of the triangle should be considered one of those fundamental truths that are impossible to contest and that are an enduring example of mathematical certitude.
Pick's theorem states that the area of a reticular polygon is L + B/2 - 1 where L is the number of reticular points inside the polygon and B is the number of reticular points on the edges of the polygon.

Theorem 2 of Euclid's Phaenomena consists of four propositions with proofs for only three of them while the missing one is replaced by the remark "that this is the case has been shown elsewhere"; indeed theorem and proof are found as Theorem 10 in Autolycus's 'Rotating Sphere'.
This means that a theorem in Autolycus's work has first a general statement, then a construction related to a particular figure with points in the figure denoted by letters, next comes the demonstration of the theorem, and finally a conclusion relating to the general statement is sometimes drawn.
The theorem relating convergence almost everywhere and uniform convergence by D F Egorov, one of Bugaev's pupils, in 1911 is seen as marking the beginning of the Moscow school of the theory of functions of a real variable.

 Springer Online Reference Works
In  "abstract"  ergodic theory one studies various statistical properties of dynamical systems reflecting their behaviour over long periods of time (for example, ergodicity or mixing) as well as problems connected with the metric classification of systems (with respect to a metric isomorphism), and the two groups of problems turn out to be closely connected.
a) The appearance of ergodic theory as an independent branch is connected with the von Neumann ergodic theorem and the Birkhoff ergodic theorem and the recognition of their metric nature.
Applications of ergodic theory to number theory can be found in [11], and to the theory of lattices in semi-simple groups (work of Margulis) in [a4].

 Ergodic theory
An important fact that is worth being emphasized is that Theorem 3.2 relies on transferring the maximal inequality from the group to the measure space, this being possible due to the amenability of G. Theorem 3.3.
The first one is the relevance of the ergodic theoretic approach to the number theoretic problem; this is about the fact that Theorem II implies Theorem I and it is discussed in the first part of section 1.
A second issue is Furstenberg's theorem in the particular cases of weakly mixing and compact systems, which are the two opposite poles of the spectrum.
