A subset of the positive integers is dynamically central syndetic if it contains the times that a point returns to a neighborhood of itself in a minimal topological dynamical system. These sets are part of the highly-influential link…

Let $d\in {\mathbb N}$ and $p_i$ be an integral polynomial with $p_i(0)=0$, $1\le i\le d$. It is shown that if $S$ is piecewise syndetic in $\mathbb Z$, then $$\{(m,n)\in{\mathbb Z}^2: m+p_1(n),\ldots,m+p_d(n)\in S\}$$ is piecewise syndetic…

Motivated by a question posed by Sophie Grivaux concerning the regularity of the orbits of frequently hypercylic operators, we show the following: for any operator $T$ on a separable metrizable and complete topological vector space $X$…

Let $d\in\mathbb{Z}$ and $p_i$ be an integral polynomial with $p_i(0)=0,1\leq i\leq d$. It is shown that if $S$ is thickly syndetic in $\mathbb{Z}$, then $\{(m,n)\in\mathbb{Z}^2:m+p_i(n),m+p_2(n),\ldots,m+p_d(n)\in S\}$ is thickly syndetic…

Given a dynamical system $(X,T)$ and a family $\mathsf{I}\subseteq \mathcal{P}(\omega)$ of "small" sets of nonnegative integers, a point $x \in X$ is said to be $\mathsf{I}$-strong universal if for each $y \in X$ there exists a subsequence…

We define and undertake a systematic study of thick, syndetic, and piecewise syndetic subsets of a Fra\"iss\'e structure. Each of these collections forms a family in the sense of Akin and Glasner [AG], and we define and study ultrafilters…

Let $A\subset \mathbb{N}$. We say $A$ is an $R$-sequence for a given minimal system $(Y,S)$ if there is $y\in Y$ such that $\{S^ny:n\in A\}$ is dense in $Y$. Richter asked if $A$ is an $R$-sequence for all minimal equicontinuous systems…

In the paper we study relations of rigidity, equicontinuity and pointwise recurrence between a t.d.s. $(X,T)$ and the t.d.s. $(K(X),T_K)$ induced on the hyperspace $K(X)$ of all compact subsets of $X$, and provide some characterizations.…

We investigate the structure of return-time sets determined by orbits along polynomial tuples in minimal topological dynamical systems. Building on the topological characteristic factor theory of Glasner, Huang, Shao, Weiss, and Ye, we…

In the topological dynamical system $(X,T)$, a point $x$ simultaneously approximates a point $y$ if there exists a sequence $n_1$, $n_2$, ... of natural numbers for which $T^{n_i} x$, $T^{2n_i}x$, ..., $T^{k n_i} x$ all tend to $y$. In…

We investigate the relationship between the dynamical properties of minimal topological dynamical systems and the multiplicative combinatorial properties of return time sets arising from those systems. In particular, we prove that for a…

For any dynamical system $T:X\rightarrow X$ of a compact metric space $X$ with $g-$almost product property and uniform separation property, under the assumptions that the periodic points are dense in $X$ and the periodic measures are dense…

Let $X$ be a compact metric space and let $f:X\rightarrow X$ be a homeomorphism on $X$. We show that if $f$ is both pointwise recurrent and expansive, then the dynamical system $(X, f)$ is topologically conjugate to a subshift of some…

We study non-recurrence sets for weakly mixing dynamical systems by using linear dynamical systems. These are systems consisting of a bounded linear operator acting on a separable complex Banach space X, which becomes a probability space…

Originating in harmonic analysis, interpolation sets were first studied in dynamics by Glasner and Weiss in the 1980s. A set $S \subset \mathbb{N}$ is an interpolation set for a class of topological dynamical systems $\mathcal{C}$ if any…

We study for a dynamical system $f:X\longrightarrow X$ some of the principal topological recurrence-kind properties with respect to the induced maps $\overline{f}:\mathcal{K}(X)\longrightarrow\mathcal{K}(X)$, on the hyperspace of non-empty…

In dynamical systems, shrinking target sets and pointwise recurrent sets are two important classes of dynamically defined subsets. In this article we introduce a mild condition on the linear parts of the affine mappings that allow us to…

If $G$ is an abelian group, we say $S\subset G$ is a set of recurrence if for every probability measure preserving $G$-system $(X,\mu,T)$ and every $D\subset X$ having $\mu(D)>0$, there is a $g\in S$ such that $\mu(D\cap T^{g}D)>0$. We say…

We study recurrence and non-recurrence sets for dynamical systems on compact spaces, in particular for products of rotations on the unit circle T. A set of integers is called r-Bohr if it is recurrent for all products of r rotations on T,…

While compactness is an essential assumption for many results in dynamical systems theory, for many applications the state space is only locally compact. Here we provide a general theory for compactifying such systems, i.e. embedding them…
