MINI-COURSE:
QUASI-CRYSTALS, FOURIER ANALYSIS AND ERGODIC THEORY SYDNEY, APRIL 2016
MICHAEL BJORKLUND
A course outline
The aim of this mini-course is to give an introduction to the classical theory of
mathematical quasi-crystals developed by Meyer and others. In total, there will be 6
meetings (one meeting is 50 minutes). While the first two lectures will be devoted to
problems pertaining to Diophantine approximation, the remaining lectures will be more
focused on the "dynamics" of quasi-crystals.
Lecture I: Quasi-crystals and Pisot numbers
Lecture II: Coarse models for quasi-crystals
Lecture III: An introduction to mathematical diffraction
Lecture IV: The torus parameterization and diffraction for models
Lecture V: Strungaru’s Theorem on diffraction of quasi-crystals
Lecture VI: Outlooks
