Properties of Furstenberg systems and multicorrelation sequences

Ferre Moragues, Andreu

Abstract Details

2021, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Mathematics.
In this dissertation we investigate two objects of central importance in ergodic theory: Furstenberg systems and multicorrelation sequences, as well as their interactions with combinatorics. This work is comprised of two main parts. In the first part we study Furstenberg systems. Among other things, we obtain a uniqueness theorem for Furstenberg systems and a characterization of countable weakly mixing amenable groups. In the second part we look at multicorrelation sequences for commuting measure preserving transformations. Under some ergodicity assumptions we show that a multicorrelation sequence has a decomposition of the form "structured part" plus an "error part". A close analysis of the methods used also yields results regarding sets of large returns as well as joint ergodicity.
