Discordant sets
and ergodic Ramsey theory

Abstract |
|
We explore the properties of nonpiecewise syndetic sets with positive upper density, which we call discordant, in countably infinite amenable (semi-)groups. Sets of this kind are involved in many questions of Ramsey theory and manifest the difference in complexity between the classical van der Waerden’s theorem and Szemerédi’s theorem. We generalize and unify old constructions and obtain new results about these historically interesting sets. Along the way, we draw from various corners of mathematics, including classical Ramsey theory, ergodic theory, number theory, and topological and symbolic dynamics. |
