Host-Kra theory for ${⨁}_{p\in P}{\mathbb{F}}_p$- Systems and multiple recurrence

Abstract

Let $\mathcal{P}$ be an (unbounded) countable multiset of primes (i.e. every prime may appear multiple times) and let $G={⨁}_{p\in \mathcal{P}}{\mathbb{F}}_p$. We develop a Host-Kra structure theory for the universal characteristic factors of an ergodic $G$-system. More specifically, we generalize the main results of Bergelson Tao and Ziegler who studied these factors in the special case $\mathcal{P}=\{p,p,p,...\}$ for some fixed prime $p$. As an application we deduce a Khintchine-type recurrence theorem in the flavor of Bergelson Tao and Ziegler and Bergelson Host and Kra.
