Delone sets: local identity and global symmetry (Q1740474)

Let $X\in\mathbb{R}^d$ be a Delone set with parameters $r$ and $R$ ($(r,R)$-system). For any $x\in X$ denote by $C_x(\rho)$ a $\rho$-cluster of $x$ that is $X\cap B_x(\rho)$. Let $N(\rho)$ be a number of nonequivalent $\rho$-clusters. The main problem is to find minimal $\rho_0(d)$ such that the condition $N(\rho_0(d))=1$ implies that $X$ is regular (i.e. $X$ is orbit of one point with respect to some crystallographic group). \par Delone set is called locally antipodal if $C_{2R}(x)$ is centrally symmetric about $x$ for any $x\in X$. Now suppose that $X$ is a locally antipodal Delone set. Then it is proved that $X$ can be represented as \[ X=\bigsqcup_{i=1}^{n} (x+\lambda_i/2+\Lambda), \] where $x\in\mathbb{R}^d$, $\Lambda$ is a lattice of the rank $d$, and $\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n$ are representatives of some cosets from $\Lambda/(2\Lambda)$, $1\leq n\leq 2^{d}-1$. Moreover, $X$ is globally centrally symmetrical about each point $x\in X$. Also it is proved that, if $N(2R)=1$, $X$ is regular. Moreover, it is proved that a locally antipodal Delone set is uniquely determined by the $2R$-cluster of any point. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1400.52002].
