Number rigidity in superhomogeneous random point fields
Abstract
We give sufficient conditions for the number rigidity of a translation invariant or periodic point process on , where . That is, the probability distribution of the number of particles in a bounded domain , conditional on the configuration on , is concentrated on a single integer . These conditions are : (a) the variance of the number of particles in a bounded domain grows slower than the volume of (a.k.a. superhomogeneous point processes), when (in a self-similar manner), and (b) the truncated pair correlation function is bounded by in and by in . These conditions are satisfied by all known processes with number rigidity ([GP],[G],[PS],[AM],[Bu],[BuDQ], [BBNY], and many more) in . We also observe, in the light of the results of [PS], that no such criteria exist in .
