Abstract

A locally finite multiset (Λ,c),(\Lambda,c), ΛRn,c:Λ{1,...,b}\Lambda \subset \mathbb R^n, c : \Lambda \rightarrow \{1,...,b\} defines a Radon measure μ:=λΛc(λ)δλ\mu := \sum_{\lambda \in \Lambda} c(\lambda)\, \delta_\lambda that is Bohr almost periodic in the sense of Favorov if the convolution μf\mu*f is Bohr almost periodic every fCc(Rn).f \in C_c(\mathbb R^n). If it is of toral type: the Fourier transform Fμ\mathfrak F \mu equals zero outside of a rank m<m < \infty subgroup, then there exists a compactification ψ:RnTm\psi : \mathbb R^n \rightarrow \mathbb T^m of Rn,\mathbb R^n, a foliation of Tm,\mathbb T^m, and a pair (K,κ)(K,\kappa) where K:=ψ(Λ)K := \overline {\psi(\Lambda)} and κ\kappa is a measure supported on KK such that Fκ=(Fμ)ψ^\mathfrak F \kappa = (\mathfrak F \mu) \circ \widehat \psi where ψ^:Tm^Rn^\widehat \psi : \widehat {\mathbb T^m} \rightarrow \widehat {\mathbb R^n} is the Pontryagin dual of ψ.\psi. If (Λ,c)(\Lambda,c) is uniformly discrete Bohr almost periodic and c=1,c = 1, we prove that every connected component of KK is homeomorphic to Tmn\mathbb T^{m-n} embedded transverse to the foliation and the homotopy of its embedding is a rank mnm-n subgroup SS of Zm,\mathbb Z^m, and we compute the density of Λ\Lambda as a function of ψ\psi and the homotopy of comonents of K.K. For n=1n = 1 and KK a nonsingular real algebraic variety, this construction gives all Fourier quasicrystals (FQ) recently characterized by Olevskii and Ulanovskii and suggest how to characterize FQ for n>1.n > 1.
