Abstract
Let be a linear semisimple Lie group without compact factors. We show that uniform approximate lattices arising as regular model sets in determine the ambient group in a strong sense. Specifically, for every non-compact Cartan subgroup of , there exists such that the intersection is non-empty and itself forms a uniform approximate lattice, extending a classical result of Mostow for lattices. The proof relies on a Moore-type ergodicity theorem for the hull of a strong approximate lattice, proved here as a key tool. Moreover, we prove that such approximate lattices determine the -rank of the ambient group , drawing on ideas from the work of Prasad and Raghunathan on lattices.
