### An Erdős–Rényi law for nonconventional sums

Yuri Kifer

#### Abstract

We obtain the Erdős–Rényi type law of large numbers for "nonconventional" sums of the form $S_n=\sum_{m=1}^nF(X_m,X_{2m},...,X_{\ell m})$  where $X_1,X_2,...$ is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables and $F$ is a bounded Borel function. The proof relies on nonconventional large deviations obtained in a previous work.
