Irregular model sets and perfect windows

Tobias Jäger (University of Jena)

We give an overview of some general concepts and methods for the 
construction of irregular model sets, obtained via Meyer’s cut and 
project schemes (CPS), with prescribed additional dynamical 
properties. This allows to  roduce specific examples at the very 
opposite ends of dynamical complexity: On the one hand, one may obtain 
irregular model sets with positive entropy [1]. On the other hand, it 
is possible to construct model sets such that almost all fibres over 
the torus parametrisation have a given finite cardinality k ∈ N [2,3]. 
Some intermeditate cases can be realised as well, for instance model 
sets whose fibres are almost surely infinite, but which only allow a 
finite number of ergodic invariant measures.

On the technical level, a special role is played by certain windows 
with a very particular symmetry property, which we refer to as perfect 
self-similarity (with respect to the window of the CPS) The 
above-mentioned examples can all be realised in the Euklidean setting. 
However, the methods can also be applied to the construction of 
Toeplitz sequences or Toeplitz arrays over countable and residually 
finite groups.

The presented results are contained in a series of works, including 
joint work with Jamal Drewlo, Daniel Lenz, Gabriel Fuhrmann, Christian 
Oertel, Maria Isabel Cortez and Jaime Gomez.
