Abstract

Let KK be a number field with ring of integers OK\mathscr{O}_K, and let B\mathfrak{B} be an Erd\H{o}s family of ideals in OK\mathscr{O}_K. We prove that the associated B\mathfrak{B}-free subshift (XB,(Sa)aOK)(X_{\mathfrak{B}},(S_a)_{a\in\mathscr{O}_K}) is intrinsically ergodic: it carries a unique measure of maximal entropy, which we identify explicitly as a relatively independent extension of the Haar rotation on bBOK/b\prod_{\mathfrak{b}\in\mathfrak{B}}\mathscr{O}_K/\mathfrak{b}. This is the first proof of intrinsic ergodicity for B\mathfrak{B}-free systems beyond dimension one, and relies on the work of Ara\'ujo--Dymek--Ku\l aga-Przymus. Via their reductions, we also settle the kk-free and B\mathfrak{B}-free lattice-point cases and the kk-free number-field case. We give \emph{two independent proofs} of the underlying rigidity statement: one through a single-site relative-entropy argument, and one through an exact-tiling realisation of Peckner's induce-and-split scheme.
