Abstract: The paper studies the relationship between diffraction and dynamics for uniformly discrete ergodic point processes in real spaces. This relationship takes the form of an isometric embedding of two L^2 spaces. Diffraction (or equivalently the 2-point correlations) usually cannot determine the dynamics entirely, but we prove that knowledge of all the higher correlations (2-point, 3-point, ...) does. A square-mean form of the Bombieri-Taylor conjecture is proved. A quantitative relation between autocorrelation, diffraction, and epsilon dual characters is derived. Most results of the paper are proved in the setting of multi-colour points and assignable scattering strengths.


The aim of this investigation is to build bridges between the study of uniformly discrete point sets (in the context of long-range order) and point processes and to provide a formalism of sufficient generality that the diffraction of point sets and dynamics of their hulls can be studied together. One of the purposes of this paper is to clarify precise relationship between the diffraction and dynamics. So the authors demonstrates that Dvorkin's argument about this connection is quite elusive. Finally the paper ends with a discussion of the Palm measure in the context of defining pattern frequencies.
