Aiming at a simultaneous extension of Khintchine’s and Furstenberg’s Recurrence theorems, we address the question if for a measure preserving system $(X,\mathcal{X},\mu,T)$ and a set $A\in\mathcal{X}$ of positive measure, the set of integers n such that $\mu(A{\cap} T^{n}A{\cap} T^{2n}A{\cap} \ldots{\cap} T^{kn}A)>\mu(A)^{k+1}-\epsilon$ is syndetic. The size of this set, surprisingly enough, depends on the length (k+1) of the arithmetic progression under consideration. In an ergodic system, for…

• 2020
We study multicorrelation sequences arising from systems with commuting transformations. Our main result is a refinement of a decomposition result of Frantzikinakis and it states that any
Some consequences of mild ergodicity assumptions
We obtain new results on multicorrelation sequences. In particular, we prove that given a measure preserving system $(X,\mathcal{B},\mu,T_1,\dots,T_d)$ with commuting, ergodic transformations $T_i$
