Pure point spectrum for measure dynamical systems on locally compact Abelian groups (Q734313)

It is well-known that the pure point dynamical spectrum corresponds to the pure point diffraction spectrum in the mathematical theory of diffraction. This result has been extended to the setting of measurable point processes by \textit{J.-B. Gouéré} [Commun. Math. Phys. 255, No. 3, 655--681 (2005; Zbl 1081.52020)] and has been set in the context of translation bounded measures on locally compact abelian groups by \textit{M. Baake} and the first author [Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 24, No. 6, 1867--1893 (2004; Zbl 1127.37004)]. This paper gives a unified treatment of diffraction theory for measurable dynamical systems, in particular permitting a measurable perturbation theory to be developed. As a by-product, a new approach to the equivalence of the pure point dynamical and diffraction spectrum is obtained, based on a stability result for the pure point subspace of a unitary representation. The approach is sufficiently robust to subsume all earlier results of this type.
