A nilspace system is a generalization of a nilsystem, consisting of a compact nilspace X equipped with a group of nilspace translations acting on X. Nilspace systems appear in different guises in several recent works, and this motivates the…
We prove a general form of the regularity theorem for uniformity norms, and deduce an inverse theorem for these norms which holds for a class of compact nilspaces including all compact abelian groups, and also nilmanifolds; in particular we…
This paper forms the third part of a series by the authors [GMV1,GMV2] concerning the structure theory of nilspaces. A nilspace is a compact space $X$ together with closed collections of cubes $C^n(X)\subseteq X^{2^n}$, $n=1,2,\ldots$,…
We study a class of measure-theoretic objects that we call cubic couplings, on which there is a common generalization of the Gowers norms and the Host-Kra seminorms. Our main result yields a complete structural description of cubic…

In this paper, the nilspace approach to higher-order Fourier analysis is developed in the setting of vector spaces over a prime field $\mathbb{F}_p$, with applications mainly in ergodic theory. A key requisite for this development is to…

We develop a theory of higher order structures in compact abelian groups. In the frame of this theory we prove general inverse theorems and regularity lemmas for Gowers's uniformity norms. We put forward an algebraic interpretation of the…
Compact finite-rank nilspaces have become central in the nilspace approach to higher-order Fourier analysis, notably through their role in a general form of the inverse theorem for the Gowers norms. This paper studies these nilspaces per…
We prove a first inverse theorem for Gowers norms on all finite abelian groups that uses only nilmanifolds (rather than possibly more general nilspaces). This makes progress toward confirming the Jamneshan--Tao conjecture. The correlating…
These notes form the second part of a detailed account of the theory of nilspaces developed by Camarena and Szegedy. Here we focus on nilspaces equipped with a compact topology that is compatible with the cube structure, called compact…
Cocycles are a key object in Antol\'{i}n Camarena and Szegedy's (topological) theory of nilspaces. We introduce measurable counterparts, named nilcycles, enabling us to give conditions which guarantee that an ergodic group extension of a…
A result of the author shows that the behavior of Gowers norms on bounded exponent abelian groups is connected to finite nilspaces. Motivated by this, we investigate the structure of finite nilspaces. As an application we prove inverse…
The goal of this paper is to show that fundamental concepts in higher-order Fourier analysis can be nauturally extended to the non-commutative setting. We generalize Gowers norms to arbitrary compact non-commutative groups. On the…
We study some aspects of the generalized geometry of nilmanifolds and examine to which extent different types of fluxes can coexist on them. Nilmanifolds constitute a class of homogeneous spaces which are interesting in string…
Finite topological spaces are in bijective correspondence with preorders on finite sets. We undertake their study using combinatorial tools that have been developed to investigate general discrete structures. A particular emphasis will be…
We study fibrations in the category of cubespaces/nilspaces. We show that a fibration of finite degree $f \colon X\rightarrow Y$ between compact ergodic gluing cubespaces (in particular nilspaces) factors as a (possibly countable) tower of…
We classify nilpotent Lie algebras with complex structures of weakly non-nilpotent type in real dimension eight, which is the lowest dimension where they arise. Our study, together with previous results on strongly non-nilpotent structures,…
For every natural number k we prove a decomposition theorem for bounded measurable functions on compact abelian groups into a structured part, a quasi random part and a small error term. In this theorem quasi randomness is measured with the…
Gelfand-Naimark-Stone duality provides an algebraic counterpart of compact Hausdorff spaces in the form of uniformly complete bounded archimedean $\ell$-algebras. In [4] we extended this duality to completely regular spaces. In this article…
