Bergelson–Leibman–Lesigne conjecture on jointly intersective polynomial recurrence
Let be jointly intersective, meaning that for every there exists such that divides each of . Let be a system, meaning a standard probability space with commuting invertible measure-preserving transformations, and let satisfy . Bergelson–Leibman–Lesigne conjecture.
The conjecture seeks a complete characterization of polynomial families that are good for multiple recurrence; the jointly intersective condition is necessary because non-intersective polynomials admit positive-density sets avoiding the corresponding patterns. The source cites Bergelson, Leibman, and Lesigne for the conjecture and presents it as an open problem.
