Abstract

We solve several problems on frequently hypercyclic operators. Firstly, we characterize frequently hypercyclic weighted shifts on ${\ell }^{p} ( \mathbb{Z} )$, $p\geq 1$. Our method uses properties of the difference set of a set with positive upper density. Secondly, we show that there exists an operator which is $ \mathcal{U} $-frequently hypercyclic but not frequently hypercyclic, and that there exists an operator which is frequently hypercyclic but not distributionally chaotic. These (surprising) counterexamples are given by weighted shifts on ${c}_{0} $. The construction of these shifts lies on the construction of sets of positive integers whose difference sets have very specific properties.
