For any set $\mathcal B\subseteq\mathbb N=\{1,2,\dots\}$ one can define its \emph{set of multiples} $\mathcal M_{\mathcal B}:=\bigcup_{b\in\mathcal B}b\mathbb Z$ and the set of \emph{$\mathcal B$-free numbers} $\mathcal F_{\mathcal…

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…

For $ \mathscr{B} \subseteq \mathbb{N} $, the $ \mathscr{B} $-free subshift $ X_{\eta} $ is the orbit closure of the characteristic function of the set of $ \mathscr{B} $-free integers. We show that many results about invariant measures and…

Given $\mathscr{B}\subseteq \mathbb{N}$, let $\mathcal{M}_\mathscr{B}=\bigcup_{b\in\mathscr{B}}b\mathbb{Z}$ be the correspoding set of multiples. We say that $\mathscr{B}$ is taut if the logarithmic density of $\mathcal{M}_\mathscr{B}$…

Let $\mathcal B\subseteq\mathbb N$ be a primitive set. We complement results on heredity of the $\mathcal B$-free subshift $X_\eta$ from [arxiv:1509.08010] in two directions: In the proximal case we prove that a subshift $X_\varphi$, which…

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…

Modifying Besicovitch's construction of a set $\mathcal{B}$ of positive integers whose set of multiples $\mathcal{M}_{\mathcal{B}}$ has no asymptotic density, we provide examples of such sets $\mathcal{B}$ for which…

We study the complexity of $\mathscr{B}$-free subshifts which are proximal and of zero entropy. Such subshifts are generated by Behrend sets. The complexity is shown to achieve any subexponential growth and is estimated for some classical…

The aim of this paper is to define and study $\mathcal{B}$-open sets and related properties. A $\mathcal{B}$-open set is, roughly speaking, a generalization of a $b$-open set, which is in turn a generalization of a pre-open set and a…

A countable family of $*$-commuting surjective, non-injective local homeomorphisms of a compact Hausdorff space $X$ gives rise to an action $\theta$ of a countably generated, free abelian monoid $P$. For such a triple $(X,P,\theta)$, which…

We extend the study of the square-free flow, recently introduced by Sarnak, to the more general context of B-free integers, that is to say integers with no factor in a given family B of pairwise relatively prime integers, the sum of whose…

Let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}$ and $\mathcal{O}_K$ be its ring of integers. Let $\mathfrak{B}$ be a primitive collection of ideals in $\mathcal{O}_K$. We show that any $\mathfrak{B}$-free system is essentially minimal.…

We study the free analogue of the classical affine fixed-point (or perpetuity) equation \[ \mathbb{X} \stackrel{d}{=} \mathbb{A}^{1/2}\mathbb{X}\,\mathbb{A}^{1/2} + \mathbb{B}, \] where $\mathbb{X}$ is assumed to be $*$-free from the pair…

Let $(B_{i})$ be a sequence of measurable sets in a probability space $(X,\mathcal{B}, \mu)$ such that $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \mu (B_{i}) = \infty$. The classical Borel-Cantelli lemma states that if the sets $B_{i}$ are independent, then $\mu…

Let $A$ be a special homotopy G-algebra over a commutative unital ring $\Bbbk$ such that both $H(A)$ and $\operatorname{Tor}_{i}^{A}(\Bbbk,\Bbbk)$ are finitely generated $\Bbbk$-modules for all $i$, and let $\tau_{i}(A)$ be the cardinality…

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…

Let $B$ be a fixed rational function of one complex variable of degree at least two. In this paper, we study solutions of the functional equation $A\circ X=X\circ B$ in rational functions $A$ and $X$. Our main result states that, unless $B$…

We introduce a framework to study the random entire function $\zeta_\beta$ whose zeros are given by the Sine$_\beta$ process, the bulk limit of beta ensembles. We present several equivalent characterizations, including an explicit power…

For a topological space $X$ we propose to call a subset $S \subset X$ "free in $X$" if it admits a well-ordering that turns it into a free sequence in $X$. The well-known cardinal function $F(X)$ is then definable as $\sup\{|S| : S \text{…

For a set $A \subset \mathbb{N}$ we characterize in terms of its density when there exists an infinite set $B \subset \mathbb{N}$ and $t \in \{0,1\}$ such that $B+B \subset A-t$, where $B+B : =\{b_1+b_2\colon b_1,b_2 \in B\}$. Specifically,…
