Let G be a countable group acting by measure-preserving
transformations on a probability space (X,μ). To every finite
subset of G there is an associated averaging operator
on Lp(X,μ). Ergodic theorems describe the pointwise
and mean limits of sequences of such operators. There is a very complete
result due to Lindenstrauss in the special case in which G is
amenable and the sequence of subsets satisfies the (tempered) Følner
property. We extend this result to an arbitrary group
G which has a `nice' amenable action and obtain specialized results
when G is Gromov hyperbolic.
