Abstract

We study sets of recurrence, in both measurable and topological settings, for actions of (ℕ, ×) and (ℚ>0, ×). In particular, we show that autocorrelation sequences of positive functions arising from multiplicative systems have positive additive averages. We also give criteria for when sets of the form {(an+b)1/(cn+d) ℓ: n ∈ ℕ} are sets of multiplicative recurrence, and consequently we recover two recent results in number theory regarding completely multiplicative functions and the Omega function.
