Let $\mathbb{T}$ be the unit circle and $\Gamma\setminus G$ the 3-dimensional Heisenberg nilmanifold. We prove that the M\"obius function is linearly disjoint from a class of distal skew products on $\mathbb{T}\times\Gamma\setminus G$.…
We study time changes of bounded type Heisenberg nilflows $(\phi_t)$ acting on the Heisenberg nilmanifold $M$. We show that for every positive $\tau\in W^s(M)$, $s~>~7/2$, every non-trivial time change $(\phi_t^{\tau})$ enjoys the Ratner…
We prove that every infinite minimal subshift with word complexity $p(q)$ satisfying $\limsup p(q)/q < 3/2$ is measure-theoretically isomorphic to its maximal equicontinuous factor; in particular, it has measurably discrete spectrum. Among…
We study substitutive systems generated by nonprimitive substitutions and show that transitive subsystems of substitutive systems are substitutive. As an application we obtain a complete characterisation of the sets of words that can appear…
In this paper, we show that for any sequence ${\bf a}=(a_n)_{n\in \Z}\in \{1,\ldots,k\}^\mathbb{Z}$ and any $\epsilon>0$, there exists a Toeplitz sequence ${\bf b}=(b_n)_{n\in \Z}\in \{1,\ldots,k\}^\mathbb{Z}$ such that the entropy $h({\bf…
Furstenberg's flow on the infinite-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^\omega$ is defined by \[ T (x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_\nu, \ldots) = (x_1 + \alpha, x_2 + h(x_1), \ldots, x_\nu + h(x_1 + (\nu-2)\beta), \ldots) \] with $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}$…
Motivated by Sarnak's conjecture on M\"obius orthogonality, we investigate the general problem of orthogonality for a bounded sequence to topological models of characteristic classes of measure-preserving automorphisms. Our main observation…
We introduce the quasiminimal subshifts, subshifts having only finitely many subsystems. With $\mathbb{N}$-actions, their theory essentially reduces to the theory of minimal systems, but with $\mathbb{Z}$-actions, the class is much larger.…
We consider linear dynamical systems with a structure of a multigraph. The vertices are associated to linear spaces and the edges correspond to linear maps between those spaces. We analyse the asymptotic growth of trajectories (associated…
In this article we construct a complete system of M\"obius-geometric invariants for pairs $(S^m, S^l), l \leq m$, of spheres contained in the M\"obius space $S^n$. It consists of n-m generalised stationary angles. We interpret these…
We obtain similar types of conclusions as that of Br\"{u}ck [1] for two differential polynomials which in turn radically improve and generalize several existing results. Moreover, a number of examples have been exhibited to justify the…
We present Veech's proof of Sarnak's theorem on the M\"{o}bius flow which say that there is a unique admissible measure on the M\"{o}bius flow. As a consequence, we obtain that Sarnak's conjecture is equivalent to Chowla conjecture with the…
We prove that the M\"{o}bius function is linearly disjoint from an analytic skew product on the $2$-torus. These flows are distal and can be irregular in the sense that their ergodic averages need not exist for all points. The previous…
Let $G$ be a countable discrete group. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a transitive $G$-system to be disjoint with all minimal $G$-systems, which implies that if a transitive $G$-system is disjoint with all minimal…
Shifts of finite type and the notion of shadowing, or pseudo-orbit tracing, are powerful tools in the study of dynamical systems. In this paper we prove that there is a deep and fundamental relationship between these two concepts. Let $X$…
Motivated by Berg's notion of quasi-disjointness for ergodic systems, we introduce and investigate the concept of quasi-disjointness for minimal systems. Several equivalent characterizations are provided. We prove that quasi-disjointness is…
Assuming the existence of Siegel zeros, we prove that there exists an increasing sequence of positive integers for which Chowla's Conjecture on $k$-point correlations of the Liouville function holds. This extends work of Germ\'an and…
We prove that the M\"obius function is disjoint to all Lipschitz continuous skew product dynamical systems on the 3-dimensional Heisenberg nilmanifold over a minimal rotation of the 2-dimensional torus.
We provide a proof for one version of Pisot conjecture. We make use of the weak mixing property of the subshift of finite type derived from the prefix-suffix automaton to conclude that the substitution dynamical system has pure discrete…
We study dynamics of a substitution subshift given by the substitution a->aca, b->d, c->b, d->c that is related to the Grigorchuk group. This dynamical system is shown to be, up to a countable set, conjugated to the binary odometer.
