Abstract: Recently, Sarnak initiated the study of the dynamics of the system determined by the square of the M"obius function (the characteristic function of the square-free integers). We deal with his program in the more general context of

m a t h f r a k B

-free integers in number fields, suggested by Baake and Huck. This setting encompasses the classical square-free case and its generalizations. Given a~number field

K

, let

m a t h f r a k B

be a~family of pairwise coprime ideals in its ring of integers

m a t h c a l O_{K}

, such that

s u m_{m a t h f r a k b i n m a t h f r a k B} 1 / | m a t h c a l O_{K} / m a t h f r a k b | < i n f t y

. We study the dynamical system determined by the set

of

m a t h f r a k B

-free integers in

m a t h c a l O_{K}

. We show that the characteristic function

m a t h b b 1_{m a t h c a l F_{m} a t h f r a k B}

of

m a t h c a l F_{m} a t h f r a k B

is generic for a~probability measure on

{0, 1}^{m a t h c a l O_{K}}

, invariant under the corresponding multidimensional shift. The corresponding measure-theoretical dynamical system is proved to be isomorphic to an ergodic rotation on a~compact Abelian group. In particular, it is of zero Kolmogorov entropy. Moreover, we provide a~description of "patterns" appearing in

m a t h c a l F_{m} a t h f r a k B

and compute the topological entropy of the topological system given by the closure of the orbit of

m a t h b b 1_{m a t h c a l F_{m} a t h f r a k B}

. Finally, we show that this topological dynamical system is proximal and therefore has no non-trivial equicontinuous factor, but has a~non-trivial topological joining with an ergodic rotation on a~compact Abelian group.
