Abstract
We discuss universal estimates for the probability that there are many fluctuations in the ergodic averages of $L^{1}$ functions. Our methods involve an effective Vitali covering type of theorem and are valid for $\mathbb{Z}^{d}$ actions, for any $d \in \mathbb{N}$. For nonnegative functions we get an exponential decay for the probability of a large number of fluctuations.
