The structure of arbitrary Conze-Lesigne systems (2112.02056v2)

Published 3 Dec 2021 in math.DS

Abstract: Let $\Gamma$ be a countable abelian group. An (abstract) $\Gamma$-system $\mathrm{X}$ - that is, an (abstract) probability space equipped with an (abstract) probability-preserving action of $\Gamma$ - is said to be a Conze-Lesigne system if it is equal to its second Host-Kra-Ziegler factor $\mathrm{Z}2(\mathrm{X})$. The main result of this paper is a structural description of such Conze-Lesigne systems for arbitrary countable abelian $\Gamma$, namely that they are the inverse limit of translational systems $G_n/\Lambda_n$ arising from locally compact nilpotent groups $G_n$ of nilpotency class $2$, quotiented by a lattice $\Lambda_n$. Results of this type were previously known when $\Gamma$ was finitely generated, or the product of cyclic groups of prime order. In a companion paper, two of us will apply this structure theorem to obtain an inverse theorem for the Gowers $U3(G)$ norm for arbitrary finite abelian groups $G$.
