Abstract

The {\it number rigidity} of a stationary point process P\mathsf{P} entails that for a bounded set AA the knowledge of P\mathsf{P} on AcA^{c} a.s. determines P(A)\mathsf{P}(A); the kk-order rigidity means the moments of P1A\mathsf{P}1_{A} up to order kk can be recovered. We show that kk-rigidity occurs if the continuous component s\mathscr{s} of P\mathsf{P}'s {\it structure factor} has a zero of order kk in 00, by exploiting a connection with Schwartz's Paley-Wiener theorem for analytic functions of exponential type; these results apply to any random L2L^{2} wide sense stationary measure on Rd\mathbb{R}^{d} or Zd\mathbb{Z}^{d}. In the continuous setting, these local conditions are also necessary if s\mathscr{s} has finitely many zeros, or is isotropic, or at the opposite separable. This explains why no model seems to exhibit rigidity in dimension d3d\geqslant 3, and allows to efficiently recover many recent rigidity results about point processes. For a field on Zd\mathbb{Z} ^{d}, these results hold provided #A>2k\# A >2k. For a continuous Determinantal point process with reduced kernel κ\kappa, kk-rigidity is equivalent to (1κ2^)1(1- \widehat {\kappa ^{2}})^{-1} having a zero of order kk in 00, which answers questions on completeness and number rigidity. We also deduce some non-integrability results in the less tractable realm of Riesz gases. Finally, we are able to prove that random stationary quasicrystals are maximally rigid on any compact.
