LetTandSbe invertible measure preserving transformations of a probability measure space (X, ℬ, μ). We prove that if the group generated byTandSis nilpotent, then $\lim_{N\ras\infty}\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^{N}u(T^{n}x)v(S^{n}x)$ exists inL2-norm for anyu,v∈L∞(X, ℬ, μ). We also show that forA∈ℬ with μ(A)>0 one has $\lim_{N\ras\infty}\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^{N} \mu(A\cap T^{-n}A\cap S^{-n}A)>0$. By the way of contrast, we bring examples showing that if measure preserving transformationsT,Sgenerate a solvable group, then (i) the above limits do not have to exist; (ii) the double recurrence property fails, that is, for someA∈ℬ, μ(A)>0, one may have μ(A∩T-nA∩S-nA)=0 for alln∈ℕ. Finally, we show that whenTandSgenerate a nilpotent group of class ≤c, $\lim_{N\ras\infty}\frac{1}{N}\sum_{n=1}^{N}u(T^{n}x)v(S^{n}x) =\int ud\mu\int vd\mu$ inL2(X) for allu,v∈L∞(X) if and only ifT×Sis ergodic onX×Xand the group generated byT-1S,T-2S2,...,T-cScacts ergodically onX.
