Abstract: Let alpha>0 and 0<gamma<1. Define galpha,gammacolonmathbbNomathbbN0 by galpha,gamma(n)=lfloornalpha+gammafloor, where lfloorxfloor is the largest integer less than or equal to x. The set galpha,gamma(mathbbN)=galpha,gamma(n)colonninmathbbN is called the gamma-nonhomogeneous spectrum of alpha. By extension, the functions galpha,gamma are referred to as spectra. In 1996, Bergelson, Hindman and Kra showed that the functions galpha,gamma preserve some largeness of subsets of mathbbN, that is, if a subset A of mathbbN is an IP-set, a central set, an IP∗-set, or a central∗-set, then galpha,gamma(A) is the corresponding object for all alpha>0 and 0<gamma<1. In 2012, Hindman and Johnson extended this result to include several other notions of largeness: C-sets, J-sets, strongly central sets, and piecewise syndetic sets. We adopt a dynamical approach to this issue and build a correspondence between the preservation of spectra and the lift property of suspension. As an application, we give a unified proof of some known results and also obtain some new.
