We prove Sarnak's M\"obius disjointness conjecture for all unipotent translations on homogeneous spaces of real connected Lie groups. Namely, we show that if $G$ is any such group, $\Gamma\subset G$ a lattice, and $u\in G$ an Ad-unipotent…

We prove that the M\"obius function is orthogonal to polynomials over $\mathbb{F}_q[x]$ (up to a characteristic condition). We use this orthogonality property to count prime solutions to affine-linear equations of bounded complexity in…

Sarnak's M\"obius disjointness conjecture states that M\"obius function is disjoint to any zero entropy dynamics. We prove that M\"obius disjointness conjecture holds for one-frequency analytic quasi-periodic cocycles which are almost…

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…

We formulate several analogues of the Chowla and Sarnak conjectures, which are widely known in the setting of the M\"obius function, in the setting of Kloosterman sums. We then show that for Kloosterman sums, in some cases, these…

We show that Sarnak's conjecture on M\"obius disjointness holds for all subshifts given by bijective substitutions and some other similar dynamical systems, e.g.\ those generated by Rudin-Shapiro type sequences.

We prove that fully oscillating sequences are orthogonal to multiple ergodic realizations of affine maps of zero entropy on compact abelian groups. It is more than what Sarnak's conjecture requires for these dynamical systems.

We show that Sarnak's conjecture on M\"obius disjointness holds in every uniquely ergodic modelof a quasi-discrete spectrum automorphism. A consequence of this result is that, for each non constant polynomial $P\in\R[x]$ with irrational…

We completely characterize the unimodal category for functions $f:\mathbb R\to[0,\infty)$ using a decomposition theorem obtained by generalizing the sweeping algorithm of Baryshnikov and Ghrist. We also give a characterization of the…

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.

Basic properties of stationary processes called Sarnak processes are studied. As an application, a combinatorial reformulation of Sarnak's conjecture on M{\"o}bius orthogonality is provided.

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 show that the images via $z\mapsto z^m$ of the continuous part of the spectral measures of the dynamical systems generated by the 0-1 sequences of the Thue-Morse type are pairwise mutually singular for different odd numbers $m\in\N$.…
