Abstract

This paper has three aims. First, for n1n \geq 1 we construct a family of real-rooted trigonometric polynomial maps P:CnCnP : \mathbb C^n \mapsto \mathbb C^n whose divisors are Fourier Quasicrystals (FQ). For n=1n = 1 these divisors include the first nontrivial FQ with positive integer coefficients constructed by Kurasov and Sarnak [47, and for n>1n > 1 they overlap with Meyer's curved model sets [65] and two-dimensional [66] and multidimensional [67] crystalline measures. We prove that the divisors are FQ by directly computing their Fourier transforms using a formula derived in [50].. Second, we extend the relationship between real-rootedness and amoebas, derived for n=1n = 1 by Alon, Cohen and Vinzant [1], to the case n>1.n > 1. The extension uses results in [10] about homology of complements of amoebas of algebraic sets of codimension >1.> 1. Third, we prove that the divisors of all uniformly generic real-rooted PP are FQ. The proof uses the formula relating Grothendieck residues and Newton polytopes derived by Gelfond and Khovanskii [34]. Finally, we note that Olevskii and Ulanovskii [72] have proved that all FQ with positive integer weights are divisors of real-rooted trigonometric polynomials for n=1n = 1 but that the situation for n>1n > 1 remains unsolved.
