Polynomial multiple recurrence over rings of integers

Abstract

We generalize the polynomial Szemerédi theorem to intersective polynomials over the ring of integers of an algebraic number field, by which we mean polynomials having a common root modulo every ideal. This leads to the existence of new polynomial configurations in positive-density subsets of $\mathbb{Z}^m$ and strengthens and extends recent results of Bergelson, Leibman and Lesigne on polynomials over the integers.
