We study uniquely ergodic dynamical systems over locally compact, sigma-compact Abelian groups. We characterize uniform convergence in Wiener/Wintner type ergodic theorems in terms of continuity of the limit. Our results generalize and…
The basic theory of semi-measures on locally compact Abelian groups is extended to prove the existence of a generalised Eberlein decomposition into such semi-measures.
The spectrum of a weighted Dirac comb on the Thue-Morse quasicrystal is investigated, and characterized up to a measure zero set, by means of the Bombieri-Taylor conjecture, for Bragg peaks, and of another conjecture that we call…
We introduce and study the notions of translation bounded tempered distributions, and autocorrelation for a tempered distrubution. We further introduce the spaces of weakly, strongly and null weakly almost periodic tempered distributions…
We prove that a positive-definite measure in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with uniformly discrete support and discrete closed spectrum, is representable as a finite linear combination of Dirac combs, translated and modulated. This extends our recent…
It is proved that the Fibonacci and the Frolov point sets, which are known to be very good for numerical integration, have optimal rate of decay of dispersion with respect to the cardinality of sets. This implies that the Fibonacci and the…
For a random field on a general discrete set, we introduce a condition that the range of the correlation from each site is within a predefined compact set D. For such a random field omega defined on the model set Lambda that satisfies a…
We consider the construction and classification of some new mathematical objects, called ergodic spatial stationary processes, on locally compact Abelian groups, which provide a natural and very general setting for studying diffraction and…
In this paper we shall prove the weak convergence of the associated diffusion processes of regular subspaces with monotone characteristic sets for a fixed Dirichlet form. More precisely, given a fixed 1-dimensional diffusion process and a…
We present cut and project formalism based on measures and continuous weight functions of sufficiently fast decay. The emerging measures are strongly almost periodic. The corresponding dynamical systems are compact groups and homomorphic…
There is a growing body of results in the theory of discrete point sets and tiling systems giving conditions under which such systems are pure point diffractive. Here we look at the opposite direction: what can we infer about a discrete…
Kinematic diffraction is well suited for a mathematical approach via measures, which has substantially been developed since the discovery of quasicrystals. The need for further insight emerged from the question of which distributions of…
In the present paper, we introduce a new concept of convexity which is generated by a family of endomorphisms of an Abelian group. In Abelian groups equipped with a translation invariant metric, we define the boundedness, the norm, the…
We study the diffraction and dynamical properties of translation bounded weakly almost periodic measures. We prove that the dynamical hull of a weakly almost periodic measure is a weakly almost periodic dynamical system with unique minimal…
The diffraction pattern of a single non-periodic compact object, such as a molecule, is continuous and is proportional to the square modulus of the Fourier transform of that object. When arrayed in a crystal, the coherent sum of the…
The advantages of convergent beam electron diffraction for symmetry determination at the scale of a few nm are well known. In practice, the approach is often limited due to the restriction on the angular range of the electron beam imposed…
It is well-known that the dynamical spectrum of an ergodic measure dynamical system is related to the diffraction measure of a typical element of the system. This situation includes ergodic subshifts from symbolic dynamics as well as…
In this paper we prove that the cone $\PPD$ of positive, positive definite, discrete and strong almost periodic measures has an interesting property: given any positive and positive definite measure $\mu$ smaller than some measure in…
We consider metrizable ergodic topological dynamical systems over locally compact, $\sigma$-compact abelian groups. We study pure point spectrum via suitable notions of almost periodicity for the points of the dynamical system. More…
A new mechanism of Bragg reflection is identified, one that, remarkably, occurs in a uniform medium and relies on resonant tuning of the medium's parameters. Due to uniformity, reflection ensues over a broad wavelength range, much like a…
