Item Leptin densities in amenable groups(2022) Pogorzelski, Felix; Richard, Christoph; Strungaru, NicolaeConsider a positive Borel measure on a locally compact group. We define a notion of uniform density for such a measure, which is based on a group invariant introduced by Leptin in 1966. We then restrict to unimodular amenable groups and to translation bounded measures. In that case our density notion coincides with the well-known Beurling density from Fourier analysis, also known as Banach density from dynamical systems theory. We use Leptin densities for a geometric proof of the model set density formula, which expresses the density of a uniform regular model set in terms of the volume of its window, and for a proof of uniform mean almost periodicity of such model sets.Item Modulated crystals and almost periodic measures(2020) Lee, Jeong-Yup; Lenz, Daniel; Richard, Christoph; Sing, Bernd; Strungaru, NicolaeModulated 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.Item Pure point diffraction and Poisson summation(2017) Strungaru, Nicolae; Richard, ChristophWe show that the diffraction formula for regular model sets and the Poisson Summation Formula for the underlying lattice can be derived from one another. This is achieved using Fourier analysis of unbounded Radon measures on locally compact abelian groups, as developed by Argabright and de Lamadrid. We also discuss related diffraction results for certain classes of non-regular so-called weak model sets.Item A short guide to pure point diffraction in cut-and-project sets(2017) Richard, Christoph; Strungaru, NicolaeWe briefly review the diffraction of quasicrystals and then give an elementary alternative proof of the diffraction formula for regular cut-and-project sets, which is based on Bochner's theorem from Fourier analysis. This clarifies a common view that the diffraction of a quasicrystal is determined by the diffraction of its underlying lattice. To illustrate our approach, we will also treat a number of well-known explicitly solvable examples.Item Spectrum of weak model sets with Borel windows(2023) Keller, Gerhard; Richard, Christoph; Strungaru, NicolaeConsider the extended hull of a weak model set together with its natural shift action. Equip the extended hull with the Mirsky measure, which is a certain natural pattern frequency measure. It is known that the extended hull is a measure-theoretic factor of some group rotation, which is called the underlying torus. Among other results, in the article Periods and factors of weak model sets, we showed that the extended hull is isomorphic to a factor group of the torus, where certain periods of the window of the weak model set have been factored out. This was proved for weak model sets having a compact window. In this note, we argue that the same results hold for arbitrary measurable and relatively compact windows. Our arguments crucially rely on Moody’s work on uniform distribution in model sets. We also discuss implications for the diffraction of such weak model sets and discuss a new class of examples which are generic for the Mirsky measure.
