Abstract
In this work, we present a complete characterization of the covariance structure of number statistics in boxes for hyperuniform point processes. Under a standard integrability assumption, the covariance depends solely on the overlap of the faces of the box. Beyond this assumption, a novel interpolating covariance structure emerges. This enables us to identify a limiting Gaussian ``coarse-grained'' process, counting the number of points in large boxes as a function of the box position. Depending on the integrability assumption, this process may be continuous or discontinuous, e.g.~in it is given by an increment process of a fractional Brownian motion.
