Abstract

We use ergodic-theoretical tools to study various notions of “large” sets of integers which naturally arise in theory of almost periodic functions, combinatorial number theory, and dynamics. Call a subset of N a Bohr set if it corresponds to an open subset in the Bohr compactification, and a piecewise Bohr set (PWB) if it contains arbitrarily large intervals of a fixed Bohr set. For example, we link the notion of PWB-sets to sets of the form A+B, where A and B are sets of integers having positive upper Banach density and obtain the following sharpening of a recent result of Renling Jin.
