For a bounded operator T on a separable infinite-dimensional Banach space X, we give a "random" criterion not involving ergodic theory which implies that T is frequently hypercyclic: there exists a vector x such that for every non-empty open subset U of X, the set of integers n such that Tⁿx belongs to U, has positive lower density. This gives a connection between two different methods for obtaining the frequent hypercyclicity of operators.

If ${\left(n_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ is a strictly increasing sequence of integers, a continuous probability measure σ on the unit circle is said to be IP-Dirichlet with respect to ${\left(n_k\right)}_{k\ge 1}$ if $\sigma ̂\left({\sum }_{k\in F}{n}_k\right)\to 1$ as F runs over all non-empty finite subsets F of ℕ and the minimum of F tends to infinity. IP-Dirichlet measures and their connections with IP-rigid dynamical systems have recently been investigated by Aaronson, Hosseini and Lemańczyk. We simplify and generalize some of their results, using an approach involving generalized Riesz products.

Let X be an infinite dimensional separable Banach space. There exists a hypercyclic operator on X which is equal to the identity operator on an infinite dimensional closed subspace of X.

We study conditions on an infinite dimensional separable Banach space $X$ implying that $X$ is the only non-trivial invariant subspace of $X^{**}$ under the action of the algebra $𝔸\left(X\right)$ of biconjugates of bounded operators on $X$: $𝔸\left(X\right)=\{T^{**}T\in ℬ\left(X\right)\}$. Such a space is called simple. We characterize simple spaces among spaces which contain an isomorphic copy of $c_0$, and show in particular that any space which does not contain ${\ell }_1$ and has property (u) of Pelczynski is simple.

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 $𝕋$, and Bohr if it is recurrent for all products of rotations on $𝕋$. It is a result due to Katznelson that for each $r\ge 1$ there exist sets of integers which are $r$-Bohr but not $(r+1)$-Bohr. We present new examples of $r$-Bohr sets which are not Bohr, thanks to a construction which...
