Number rigidity in superhomogeneous random point fields

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We give sufficient conditions for the number rigidity of a translation invariant or periodic point process on mathbbRd, where d=1,2. That is, the probability distribution of the number of particles in a bounded domain LambdasubsetmathbbRd, conditional on the configuration on Lambdacomplement, is concentrated on a single integer NLambda. These conditions are : (a) the variance of the number of particles in a bounded domain mathcalOsubsetmathbbRd grows slower than the volume of mathcalO (a.k.a. superhomogeneous point processes), when mathcalOuparrowmathbbRd (in a self-similar manner), and (b) the truncated pair correlation function is bounded by C1[|xy|+1]2 in d=1 and by C2[|xy|+1](4+epsilon) in d=2. These conditions are satisfied by all known processes with number rigidity ([GP],[G],[PS],[AM],[Bu],[BuDQ], [BBNY], and many more) in d=1,2. We also observe, in the light of the results of [PS], that no such criteria exist in d>2.
