Computing modular coincidences

Computing modular coincidences can show whether a given substitution system, which is supported on a point lattice in R^d, consists of model sets or not. We prove the computatibility of this problem and determine an upper bound for the number of iterations needed. The main tool is a simple algorithm for computing modular coincidences, which is essentially a generalization of Dekking coincidence to more than one dimension, and the proof of equivalence of this generalized Dekking coincidence and modular coincidence. As a consequence, we also obtain some conditions for the existence of modular coincidences. In a separate section, and throughout the article, a number of examples are given.

Which distributions of matter diffract? - Some answers

This review revolves around the question which general distribution of scatterers (in a Euclidean space) results in a pure point diffraction spectrum. Firstly, we treat mathematical diffration theory and state conditions under which such a distribution has pure point diffraction. We explain how a cut and project scheme naturally appears in this context and then turn our attention to the special situation of model sets and lattice substitution systems. As an example, we analyse the paperfolding sequence. In the last part, we summarize some aspects of stochastic point sets, with focus both on structure and diffraction.
