Abstract
Given an approach region Γ ∈ Z+2 and a pair U, V of commuting nonperiodic measure preserving transformations on a probability space (Ω, Σ, μ), it is shown that either the associated multiparameter ergodic averages of any function in L1(Ω) converge a.e. or that, given a positive increasing function ϕ on [0,∞) that is o(log x) as x → ∞, there exists a function g ∈ Lϕ(L)(Ω) whose associated multiparameter ergodic averages fail to converge a.e.
