A Non-commutative Individual Ergodic Theorem Along Sparse Random Subsequences

Let $(M,τ)$ be a semifinite von Neumann algebra, let $J$ be a trace-preserving Jordan isomorphism, and let $(n_k)_{k\geq 1}$ be a random increasing sequence of integers obtained by selecting each integer $n\geq 1$ independently with probability $n^{-α}$, where $0<α<\frac12$. We show that, almost sur
