PLEASE NOTE SPECIAL DATE. For an arbitrary number field K/Q of degree d, we study the n-point correlations for m-free integers in the ring OK and define an associated natural OK-action. We prove that this action is ergodic, has pure point spectrum, and is isomorphic to a Zd action on a compact abelian group. As a corollary, we obtain that this natural action is not weakly mixing and has zero measure-theoretical entropy. The case K=Q, was studied by Ya.G. Sinai and myself, and our theorem provides a different proof to a result by P. Sarnak. This is a joint work with I. Vinogradov.
