Bergelson's intersectivity lemma #
This file proves the Bergelson intersectivity lemma: In a finite measure space, a sequence of events
that have measure at least r
has an infinite subset whose finite intersections all have positive
volume.
This is in some sense a finitary version of the second Borel-Cantelli lemma.

TODO #
Restate the theorem using the upper density of a set of naturals, once we have it. This will make
bergelson'
be actually strong (and please then rename it to strong_bergelson
).
Use the ergodic theorem to deduce the refinement of the Poincaré recurrence theorem proved by Bergelson.

TODO: The infinity of t
should be strengthened to t
having positive natural density.
