Katznelson's recurrence conjecture for iterated differences in Zω\mathbb Z^\omega

Let Zω\mathbb Z^\omega be the direct sum of countably many copies of Z\mathbb Z, with standard basis {ej:jN}\{\mathbf e_j:j\in\mathbb N\}. Write E1={ej:jN}\mathcal E_1=\{\mathbf e_j:j\in\mathbb N\}, and let Δ2(E1)\Delta_2(\mathcal E_1) denote the set of differences (ab)(cd)(a-b)-(c-d) with a,b,c,dE1a,b,c,d\in\mathcal E_1 mutually distinct. A set is a set of Bohr recurrence if it intersects every Bohr neighborhood of 00, and a set of chromatic recurrence if its associated Cayley graph has infinite chromatic number.

Special Katznelson conjecture. If SΔ2(E1)S\subseteq\Delta_2(\mathcal E_1) is a set of Bohr recurrence in Zω\mathbb Z^\omega, then SS is a set of chromatic recurrence.

This is a special case of the general recurrence problem and is used in the paper as a sufficient statement for reducing the question to arbitrary countably infinite abelian groups.
