Almost sure convergence of the multiple ergodic average for certain weakly mixing systems

The family of pairwise independently determined (PID) systems, i.e. those for which the independent joining is the only self joining with independent 2-marginals, is a class of systems for which the long standing open question by Rokhlin, of whether mixing implies mixing of all orders, has a positive answer. We show that in the class of weakly mixing PID one finds a positive answer for another long-standing open problem, whether the multiple ergodic averages begin{equation*} frac 1 Nsum_{n=0}^{N-1}f_1(T^nx)cdots f_d(T^{dn}x), quad Nto infty, end{equation*} almost surely converge.
