The paper proves the Bohr0–inside–AA^{-1} up to BD-null result for all amenable groups via weakly almost periodic flows, the Ellis semigroup, and unique invariant measure, with a clear, complete argument. The candidate solution sketches a different representation-theoretic route (GNS + Jacobs–de Leeuw–Glicksberg), but its crucial step—that the weakly-mixing component’s deviation set N_ε = {g : |φ_0(g)|>ε} has upper Banach density 0—is asserted without justification and, as stated, does not follow from mean-zero alone; in fact, mean zero does not imply BD-null of {|f|>ε}. Moreover, that step is cited back to the same paper, rendering the purportedly different proof circular. Hence: paper correct; model (as written) not correct/complete.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field \textbf{Justification:} The manuscript provides a concise, correct, and conceptually attractive proof of the Bohr0–inside–AA\^{-1} phenomenon up to BD-null for all amenable groups, extending and strengthening classical and countable cases. The main ideas—WAP flows, Ellis semigroup structure, and unique invariant measure—are cleanly deployed. Minor clarifications (e.g., on the notion of genericity in flows and a brief expansion of a combinatorial estimate) would improve readability, but the core result is solid and valuable.
