Simultaneous polynomial recurrence along prescribed residue classes

About 6 years old · traced to

Let (X,Tk)(X,T^k) be minimal for some k≥2k\geq 2, let d∈Nd\in\mathbb N, and let Pm(n)P_m(n), 1≤m≤d1\leq m\leq d, be non-constant integral polynomials satisfying Pm(0)=0P_m(0)=0. Simultaneous polynomial recurrence conjecture. For every 0≤j<k0\leq j<k, there is a sequence nii∈N\\{n_i\\}_{i\in\mathbb N} and a dense GδG_\delta set of points x∈Xx\in X such that ni≡j(modk)n_i\equiv j\pmod{k} and

TP1(ni)x⟶x,…,TPd(ni)x⟶x(i⟶∞).T^{P_1(n_i)}x\longrightarrow x,\ldots,T^{P_d(n_i)}x\longrightarrow x \qquad (i\longrightarrow\infty).

This strengthens the single-polynomial and quadratic recurrence results by requiring simultaneous convergence for several polynomials and a prescribed congruence class. The source presents it as requiring substantial further work, and gives no resolution.
