We also prove a qualitative version of this inverse theorem using a structure theorem of Host--Kra type for ergodic ${\\mathbf Z}^\\omega$-actions of order $2$ on probability spaces established recently by Shalom and the authors.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2023-06-06T16:11:04.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11B30", "28E05", "37A15" ], "keywords": [ "arbitrary finite abelian groups", "gowers uniformity norm", "inverse theorem", "ergodic approaches", "fourier-analytic" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 48, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
