Abstract

Let (X,BX,μ,T)(X,B_X,\mu,T) be a measure-preserving probability system with TT is invertible. Suppose that ABXA\in B_X with μ(A)>0\mu(A)>0 and ϵ>0\epsilon>0. For any m1m\geq 1, there exist infinitely many primes p0,p1,,pmp_0,p_1,\ldots,p_m with p0<<pmp_0<\cdots<p_m such that μ(AT(pi1)A)μ(A)2ϵ \mu(A\cap T^{-(p_i-1)}A)\geq \mu(A)^2-\epsilon for each 0im0\leq i\leq m and pmp0<Cm, p_m-p_0<C_m, where Cm>0C_m>0 is a constant only depending on mm, AA and ϵ\epsilon.
