Sarnak's Program for Erd\H{o}s Sieves. Part II: Measure Systems and Applications
Abstract
This paper is the second part of a two-part article where we generalize Sarnak's program to sets where we remove congruence classes modulo some infinite set of ideals of an \'etale algebra , which we denote by Erd\H{o}s sieves. Given a sieve we define the set of algebraic integers in not contained in any of the congruence classes of . We associate to each sieve two measure-theoretical dynamical systems (the orbit closure of ) and (the set of admissible sets) and show how they are related. We show that the system associated to is isomorphic to an ergodic rotation of a compact abelian group, and compute its spectrum. As applications we show results about infinite sumsets in the integers, investigate the case where is the squarefree values of some polynomial, and show a prime number theorem for free numbers.
