Odd order cases of Chowla's averages over arbitrary rectangles

Qiang Huo, Zhengxing Lian, Kangbo Ouyang

Let be the Liouville function. In this paper we prove an average form of Chowla Conjecture for even . that is, for every fixed even integer , we prove that \[ \lim…

An affirmative answer to Owings's sumset question

Wen Huang, Zhengxing Lian, Song Shao +3

We give an affirmative answer to Owings's sumset question: for any -coloring of natural numbers, there is an infinite such that is monochromatic. Mo…

Maximal pronilfactors and a topological Wiener-Wintner theorem

Yonatan Gutman, Zhengxing Lian

For strictly ergodic systems, we introduce the class of CF-Nil() systems: systems for which the maximal measurable and maximal topological -step pronilfactors coincide as mea…

Pro-nilfactors of the space of arithmetic progressions in topological dynamical systems

Zhengxing Lian, Jiahao Qiu

For a topological dynamical system , and , let and be the orbit closures of the diagonal point ( times) un…

Minimal systems with finitely many ergodic measures

Wen Huang, Zhengxing Lian, Song Shao +1

In this paper it is proved that if a minimal system has the property that its sequence entropy is uniformly bounded for all sequences, then it has only finitely many ergodic measur…

A counter-example for polynomial version of Sarnak's conjecture

Zhengxing Lian, Ruxi Shi

We construct the counter-example for polynomial version of Sarnak's conjecture for minimal systems, which assets that the Möbius function is linearly disjoint from subsequences alo…

Strictly ergodic distal models and a new approach to the Host-Kra factors

Yonatan Gutman, Zhengxing Lian

Cocycles are a key object in Antolín Camarena and Szegedy's (topological) theory of nilspaces. We introduce measurable counterparts, named nilcycles, enabling us to give conditions…

Reducing the Sarnak Conjecture to Toeplitz systems

Wen Huang, Zhengxing Lian, Song Shao +1

In this paper, we show that for any sequence and any , there exists a Toeplitz sequence ${\bf b}=(b_n)_{n\in \Z}\in \{1,…

Affine transformation with zero entropy and nilsystems

Zhengxing Lian

In this paper, we study affine transformations on tori, nilmanifolds and compact abelian groups. For these systems, we show that an equivalent condition for zero entropy is the orb…

Sequences from zero entropy noncommutative toral automorphisms and Sarnak Conjecture

Wen Huang, Zhengxing Lian, Song Shao +1

In this paper we study -algebra version of Sarnak Conjecture for noncommutative toral automorphisms. Let be a noncommutative torus and be the noncommutative toral…

Weakly mixing, proximal topological models for ergodic systems and applications

Zhengxing Lian, Song Shao, Xiangdong Ye

In this paper it is shown that every non-periodic ergodic system has two topologically weakly mixing, fully supported models: one is non-minimal but has a dense set of minimal poin…
