A mapping ϕ of a groupG to a groupF is said to be polynomial if it trivializes after several consecutive applications of operatorsDh,h ∈G, defined byDhϕ(g)=ϕ(g)−1ϕ(gh). We study polynomial mappings of groups, mainly to nilpotent groups. In particular, we prove that polynomial mappings to a nilpotent group form a group with respect to the elementwise multiplication, and that any polynomial mappingG→F to a nilpotent groupF splits into a homomorphismG→G’ to a nilpotent groupG’ and a polynomial… Expand

Abstract We introduce a refined version of group cohomology and relate it to the space of polynomials on the group in question. We show that the polynomial cohomology with trivial coefficients admitsExpand
Classification of Polynomial Mappings Between Commutative Groups
Some polynomials $P$ with rational coefficients give rise to well defined maps between cyclic groups, $\Z_q\longrightarrow\Z_r$, $x+q\Z\longmapsto P(x)+r\Z$. More generally, there are polynomials inExpand
Regularity and inverse theorems for uniformity norms on compact abelian groups and nilmanifolds
• Mathematics

We prove a general form of the regularity theorem for uniformity norms, and deduce a generalization of the Green-Tao-Ziegler inverse theorem, extending it to a class of compact nilspaces includingExpand

For every natural number k we prove a decomposition theorem for bounded measurable functions on compact abelian groups into a structured part, a quasi random part and a small error term. In thisExpand

A generalized polynomial is a real-valued function which is obtained from conventional polynomials by the use of the operations of addition, multiplication, and taking the integer part; a generalizedExpand
Polynomial maps and polynomial sequences in groups
This paper develops a theory of polynomial maps from commutative semigroups to arbitrary groups and proves that it has desirable formal properties when the target group is locally nilpotent. We willExpand
Higher order mixing and rigidity of algebraic actions on compact Abelian groups
Let Γ be a discrete group and fori=1,2; letαi be an action of Γ on a compact abelian groupXi by continuous automorphisms ofXi. We study measurable equivariant mapsf: (X1,α1)→(X2,α2), and prove aExpand
