Single recurrence in abelian groups
Abstract
We collect problems on recurrence for measure preserving and topological actions of a countable abelian group, considering combinatorial versions of these problems as well. We solve one of these problems by constructing, in , a set such that every translate of is a set of topological recurrence, while is not a set of measurable recurrence. This construction answers negatively a variant of the following question asked by several authors: if has positive upper Banach density, must contain a Bohr neighborhood of some ? We also solve a variant of a problem posed by the author by constructing, for all , sets such that every translate of is a set of topological recurrence, , and the sumset is not piecewise syndetic. Here denotes upper Banach density.

Revision 2: Typos corrected, minor changes to exposition, including definition of cylinder sets and restrictions in Section 3. Intentional text overlap with arxiv:1608.01014 in order to keep both articles self contained. 39 pages, comments welcome!
