    Modulated crystals and almost periodic measures
    (2020) Lee, Jeong-Yup; Lenz, Daniel; Richard, Christoph; Sing, Bernd; Strungaru, Nicolae
    Modulated crystals and quasicrystals can simultaneously be described as modulated quasicrystals, a class of point sets introduced by de Bruijn in 1987. With appropriate modulation functions, modulated quasicrystals themselves constitute a substantial subclass of strongly almost periodic point measures. We re-analyse these structures using methods from modern mathematical diffraction theory, thereby providing a coherent view over that class. Similarly to de Bruijn's analysis, we find stability with respect to almost periodic modulations.

    Note on the set of Bragg peaks with high intensity
    (2016) Strungaru, Nicolae; Lenz, Daniel
    We consider diffraction of Delone sets in Euclidean space. We show that the set of Bragg peaks with high intensity is always Meyer (if it is relatively dense). We use this to provide a new characterization for Meyer sets in terms of positive and positive definite measures. Our results are based on a careful study of positive definite measures, which may be of interest in its own right.

    On weakly almost periodic measures
    (2016) Lenz, Daniel; Strungaru, Nicolae
    We study the diffraction and dynamical properties of translation bounded weakly almost periodic measures. We prove that the dynamical hull of a weakly almost periodic measure is a weakly almost periodic dynamical system with unique minimal component given by the hull of the strongly almost periodic component of the measure. In particular the hull is minimal if and only if the measure is strongly almost periodic and the hull is always measurably conjugate to a torus and has pure point spectrum with continuous eigenfunctions. As an application we show the stability of the class of weighted Dirac combs with Meyer set or FLC support and deduce that such measures have either trivial or large pure point respectively continuous spectrum. We complement these results by investigating the Eberlein convolution of two weakly almost periodic measures. Here, we show that it is unique and a strongly almost periodic measure. We conclude by studying the Fourier-Bohr coefficients of weakly almost periodic measures.

    Pure point diffraction and mean, Besicovitch and Weyl almost periodicity
    (2020) Lenz, Daniel; Spindeler, Timo; Strungaru, Nicolae
    We show that a translation bounded measure has pure point diffraction if and only if it is mean almost periodic. We then go on and show that a translation bounded measure solves what we call the phase problem if and only if it is Besicovitch almost periodic. Finally, we show that a translation bounded measure solves the phase problem independent of the underlying van Hove sequence if and only if it is Weyl almost periodic. These results solve fundamental issues in the theory of pure point diffraction and answer questions of Lagarias.

    Pure point spectrum for dynamical systems and mean almost periodicity
    (2020) Lenz, Daniel; Spindeler, Timo; Strungaru, Nicolae
    We consider metrizable ergodic topological dynamical systems over locally compact, σ-compact abelian groups. We study pure point spectrum via suitable notions of almost periodicity for the points of the dynamical system. More specifically, we characterize pure point spectrum via mean almost periodicity of generic points. We then go on and show how Besicovitch almost periodic points determine both eigenfunctions and the measure in this case. After this, we characterize those systems arising from Weyl almost periodic points and use this to characterize weak and Bohr almost periodic systems. Finally, we consider applications to aperiodic order.
