Abstract
We extend a result of Doney [Probab. Theory Related Fields 107 (1997)] on renewal sequences with infinite mean to renewal sequences of operators. As a consequence, we get precise asymptotics for the transfer operator and for correlations in dynamical systems preserving an infinite measure (including intermittent maps with an arbitrarily neutral fixed point).
