Combinatorial properties of Nil-Bohr sets

Abstract: In this paper we study the relation between two notions of largeness that apply to a set of positive integers, namely

m a t h r m {N i l}_{d} - m a t h r m B o h r

and

m a t h r m {S G}_{k}

, as introduced by Host and Kra. We prove that any

m a t h r m {N i l}_{d} - m a t h r m {B o h r}_{0}

set is necessarily

m a t h r m {S G}_{k}

where

k

is effectively bounded in terms of

d

. This partially resolves a conjecture of Host and Kra.
