Abstract

top
For every k ∈ ℕ , we produce a set of integers which is k -recurrent but not ( k + 1 ) -recurrent. This extends a result of Furstenberg who produced a 1 -recurrent set which is not 2 -recurrent. We discuss a similar result for convergence of multiple ergodic averages. We also point out a combinatorial consequence related to Szemerédi’s theorem.
