A spatial distribution is hyperuniform if it has local density fluctuations that vanish in the limit of long length scales. Hyperuniformity is a well known property of both crystals and quasicrystals. Of recent interest, however, is…

Hyperuniformity characterizes a state of matter for which density fluctuations diminish towards zero at the largest length scales. However, the task of determining whether or not an experimental system is hyperuniform is experimentally…

Covariance representations are developed for the uniform distributions on the Euclidean spheres in terms of spherical gradients and Hessians. They are applied to derive a number of Sobolev type inequalities and to recover and refine the…
