Page 247 - The cut-and-project formalism in arbitrary locally compact Abelian groups is investigated. It is established that a generalization of the well-known formula for the density of the resulting cut-and-project sets holds. Furthermore, a necessary and sufficient criterion for the existence of a cut-and-project scheme for a given subset of a locally compact Abelian group is provided. It is proved that this scheme is essentially uniquely determined by the local isomorphism class of the set.
