Recent progress in Hilbert cubes theory: combinatorial aspects of some ergodic theorems


In 1892, Hilbert defined an affine d-dimensional cube (which is nowadays called Hilbert cube) as follows: let x_0 be an integer and a_1 < a_2 <... < a_d be a sequence of integers. Then the Hilbert cube H(x_0,a_1,a_2,\dots, a_d) is the set {x_0+{0,a_1}+...+{0,a_d}}.
Hilbert cubes have many applications from Szemerédi theorem to the distribution of non-residues in the finite field of prime cardinality. We will discuss some new results and problems in this topic.
In the second half of the talk we give a short proof of a generalization of Raimi-Hindman's theorem.
