The L(p)-norm convergence of weighted averages mu(n)f in ergodic theor
y is equivalent to the pointwise convergence of the Fourier transforms
mu(n). If h(gamma) = lim(n-->infinity) mu(n)(gamma), then the behavio
r of h determines when the L(p)-norm limit of mu(n)f is integral f dm.
The nature of such limit functions h is the focus of this article.
