Coset topologies on $\mathbb{Z}$ and arithmetic applications

Abstract

We provide a construction which covers as special cases many of the topologies on integers one can find in the literature. Moreover, our analysis of the Golomb and Kirch topologies inserts them in a family of connected, Hausdorff topologies on $\mathbb{Z}$, obtained from closed sets of the profinite completion $\hat{\mathbb{Z}}$. We also discuss various applications to number theory.
