Let (X, ν) be a finite measure space and let T: XX be a measurable transformation. In this paper we prove that the averages converge a.e. for every f in Lp(), 1 < p < ∞, if and only if there exists a measure γ equivalent to ν such that the averages apply uniformly Lp() into weak-Lp(). As a corollary, we get that uniform boundedness of the averages in Lp() implies a.e. convergence of the averages (a result recently obtained by Assani). In order to do this, we first study measures v equivalent to a finite invariant measure μ, and we prove that supn≥0An(dν/dμ)−1/(p−1) a.e. is a necessary and sufficient condition for the averages to converge a.e. for every f in Lp().
