A view on multiple recurrence

Abstract

In this note we present a proof of multiple recurrence for ergodic systems (and thereby of Szemer\'edi's theorem) being a mixture of three known proofs. It is based on a conditional version of the Jacobs-de Leeuw-Glicksberg decomposition and properties of the Gowers-Host-Kra uniformity seminorms.

18 pages. The proof has been considerably simplified and shortened by avoiding the use of the fact that the Host-Kra-Ziegler factors are factors. The only information needed on the corresponding subspaces is their description via the Gowers-Host-Kra seminorms
