Abstract

We develop a general framework to study hyperuniformity of various mathematical models of quasicrystals. Using this framework we provide examples of non-hyperuniform quasicrystals which unlike previous examples are not limit-quasiperiodic. Some of these examples are even anti-hyperuniform or have a positive asymptotic number variance. On the other hand we establish hyperuniformity for a large class of mathematical quasicrystals in Euclidean spaces of arbitrary dimension. For certain models of quasicrystals we moreover establish that hyperuniformity holds for a generic choice of the underlying parameters. For quasicrystals arising from the cut-and-project method we conclude that their hyperuniformity depends on subtle diophantine properties of the underlying lattice and window and is by no means automatic.
