In 2010, Sarnak initiated the study of the dynamics of the system determined by the square of the M\"obius function (the characteristic function of the square-free integers). We deal with his program in the more general context of…
We prove some new statements on the distribution of $\mathcal{B}$-free numbers in short intervals. In particular, we show an asymptotic result for the variance of the number of $\mathcal{B}$-free integers in random short intervals which…
We show that the M\"obius disjointess of zero entropy dynamical systems implies the existence of an increasing sequence of positive integers along which the Chowla conjecture on autocorrelations of the M\"obius function holds.
Recently, the dynamical and spectral properties of square-free integers, visible lattice points and various generalisations have received increased attention. One reason is the connection of one-dimensional examples such as $\mathscr…
It is shown that Sarnak's M\"{o}bius orthogonality conjecture is fulfilled for the compact metric dynamical systems for which every invariant measure has singular spectra. This is accomplished by first establishing a special case of Chowla…
Let $(X, T)$ be a topological dynamical system. We show that if each invariant measure of $(X, T)$ gives rise to a measure-theoretic dynamical system that is either: a. rigid along a sequence of "bounded prime volume" or b. admits a…
We construct a natural invariant measure concentrated on the set of square-free numbers, and invariant under the shift. We prove that the corresponding dynamical system is isomorphic to a translation on a compact, Abelian group. This…
We show that if $y=(y_n)_{n\ge 1}$ is a bounded sequence with zero average along every infinite arithmetic progression then for every $N\ge 2$ there exist (unilateral or bilateral) subshifts $\Sigma$ over $N$ symbols, with entropy…
The algebra Mul[[B]] of formal multilinear function series over an algebra B and its quotient SymMul[[B]] are introduced, as well as corresponding operations of formal composition. In the setting of Mul[[B]], the unsymmetrized R- and…
We show that counts of squarefree integers up to $X$ in short intervals of size $H$ tend to a Gaussian distribution as long as $H\rightarrow\infty$ and $H = X^{o(1)}$. This answers a question posed by R.R. Hall in 1989. More generally we…
We study the distribution of the sequence of elements of the discrete dynamical system generated by the M\"obius transformation $x \mapsto (ax + b)/(cx + d)$ over a finite field of $p$ elements. Motivated by a recent conjecture of P.…
We obtained the probabilities for the values of the M\"obius function for arbitrary numbers and found that the asymptotic densities of the squarefree integers among the odd and even numbers are $8/\pi^2$ and $4/\pi^2$, respectively. It is…
Let $B\subset \mathbb{N}$ and let $\eta\in \{0,1\}^\mathbb{Z}$ be the characteristic function of the set $F_B:=\mathbb{Z}\setminus\bigcup_{b}b\mathbb{Z}$ of B-free numbers. Consider $(S,X_\eta)$, where $X_\eta$ is the closure of the orbit…
Let $\mathcal B$ be an infinite subset of $\{1,2,\dots\}$. We characterize arithmetic and dynamical properties of the $\mathcal B$-free set $\mathcal F_{\mathcal B}$ through group theoretical, topological and measure theoretic properties of…
Recently Khmaladze has shown how to `rotate' one empirical process to another. This paper is the first to apply this transform when successive data points are generated by a single distributional family, but with covariates varying over the…
We introduce `braidability' as a new symmetry for (infinite) sequences of noncommutative random variables related to representations of the braid group $B_\infty$. It provides an extension of exchangeability which is tied to the symmetric…
We investigate analytical properties of free stable distributions and discover many connections with their classical counterparts. Our main result is an explicit formula for the Mellin transform, which leads to explicit series…
We investigate function field analogs of the distribution of primes, and prime $k$-tuples, in "very short intervals" of the form $I(f) := \{ f(x) + a : a \in \mathbb{F}_p \}$ for $f(x) \in \mathbb{F}_p[x]$ and $p$ prime, as well as…
In this paper we show the distributions of sliding block patterns for Bernoulli processes with finite alphabet, which is not based on the induction on sample size. We show a new inclusion-exclusion formula in multivariate generating…
A probabilistic source is defined as the set of infinite words (over a given denumerable alphabet) endowed with a probability $\mu$. The paper deals with general binary sources where the distribution of any symbol (0 or 1) may depend on an…
