For a minimal topological dynamical system $(X,T)$ it is shown that the condition $x\\in X$ is $d$-step almost automorphic can be characterized via various subsets of $\\Z$ including the dual sets of $d$-step Poincar\\'e and Birkhoff recurrence sets, and Nil$_d$ Bohr$_0$-sets by considering $N(x,V)=\\{n\\in\\Z: T^nx\\in V\\}$, where $V$ is an arbitrary neighborhood of $x$. Moreover, it turns out that the condition $(x,y)\\in X\\times X$ is regionally proximal of order $d$ can also be characterized via various subsets of $\\Z$ including $d$-step Poincar\\'e and Birkhoff recurrence sets, $SG_d$ sets, the dual sets of Nil$_d$ Bohr$_0$-sets, and others by considering $N(x,U)=\\{n\\in\\Z: T^nx\\in U\\}$, where $U$ is an arbitrary neighborhood of $y$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-10-30T10:42:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37B05", "37B20" ], "keywords": [ "regionally proximal relation", "higher order", "birkhoff recurrence sets", "arbitrary neighborhood", "automorphy" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1110.6599H" } } }
