Abstract

We show that there is a measure-preserving system (X,B,μ,T)(X,\mathscr{B}, \mu, T) together with functions F0,F1,F2L(μ)F_0, F_1, F_2 \in L^{\infty}(\mu) such that the correlation sequence CF0,F1,F2(n)=XF0TnF1T2nF2dμC_{F_0, F_1, F_2}(n) = \int_X F_0 \cdot T^n F_1 \cdot T^{2n} F_2 d\mu is not an approximate integral combination of 22-step nilsequences.
