Rigidity of one-dimensional point processes via optimal transport

Probability 2025-10-21 v1

Abstract

We investigate rigidity phenomena in one-dimensional point processes. We show that the existence of an L1L^1 transport map from a stationary lattice or the Lebesgue measure to a point process is sufficient to guarantee the properties of Number-Rigidity and Cyclic-Factor. We then apply this result to non-singular Riesz gases with parameter s(2,1]s\in(-2,-1], defined in infinite volume as accumulation points of stationarized finite-volume Riesz gases. This includes, for s=1s=-1, the well-known one-dimensional Coulomb gas (also called Jellium plasma, or the one-component 1D plasma).
