Abstract: 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 results where we proved this under the assumption that also the spectrum is uniformly discrete. As an application we obtain that Hof's quasicrystals with uniformly discrete diffraction spectra must have a periodic diffraction structure.

Review text

The main object of the paper are quasicrystals. The Fourier quasicrystal is an (infinite) discrete measure, whose Fourier transform is also a discrete measure. If the measure is supported on a discrete set, the latter is called the support of the measure. If the Fourier transform is also a discrete measure, it is defined on the set which is called the spectrum. It is proved in the recent work of the authors that if both sets are uniformly discrete, then the support is contained in a finite union of translates of an arithmetic progression. Their further results also rely on the assumption that the spectrum must be uniformly discrete. In the paper under review the authors relax this restriction. They prove that a positive-definite measure in \(\mathbb R^n\) with uniformly discrete support and (only) discrete closed spectrum, is representable as a finite linear combination of Dirac combs, translated and modulated. As an application they derive that Hof's quasicrystals with uniformly discrete diffraction spectra must have a periodic diffraction structure. Open problems are formulated in the end of the paper.
