We prove that product-free subsets of the free group over a finite alphabet have maximum upper density with respect to the natural measure that assigns total weight one to each set of irreducible words of a given length. This confirms a conjecture of Leader, Letzter, Narayanan, and Walters. In more general terms, we actually prove that strongly -product-free sets have maximum upper density in terms of this measure. The bounds are tight.

For the Lagrange spectrum and other applications, we determine the smallest accumulation point of binary sequences that are maximal in their shift orbits. This problem is trivial for the lexicographic order, and its solution is the fixed point of a substitution for the alternating lexicographic order. For orders defined by cylinders, we show that the solutions are -adic sequences, where is a certain infinite set of substitutions that contains Sturmian morphisms.

We prove multiple vector-valued and mixed-norm estimates for multilinear operators in , more precisely for multilinear operators associated to a symbol singular along a -dimensional space and for multilinear variants of the Hardy-Littlewood maximal function. When the dimension , the input functions are not necessarily in and can instead be elements of mixed-norm spaces .
Such a result has interesting consequences especially when spaces are involved. Among these, we mention mixed-norm Loomis-Whitney-type inequalities for singular integrals, as well as the boundedness of multilinear operators associated to certain rational symbols. We also present examples of operators that are not susceptible to isotropic rescaling, which only satisfy “purely mixed-norm estimates” and no classical estimates.
Relying on previous estimates implied by the helicoidal method, we also prove (non-mixed-norm) estimates for generic singular Brascamp-Lieb-type inequalities.
