Full Gabor frames, its existence problem, and a non-uniform Balian-Low type theorem

For a broad class of Delone sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$ that are of significance in both mathematics and physics, we prove a non-uniform Balian-Low type theorem and settle the converse problem on the existence of Gabor frames, for arbitrary dimension $n$. To this end, we introduce a class of Gabor frames, termed full Gabor frames, and prove that the existence of such a frame on the Delone set with Schwartz window functions is equivalent to the condition that the lower Beurling density be strictly greater than one. In fact, the usual Balian-Low direction using window functions from the Feichtinger's algebra can be proven for arbitrary point sets, thereby improving an earlier density theorem by Christensen, Deng, and Heil. The corresponding dual result for Riesz sequences is also obtained. The main technical tools employed in this paper are tiling groupoid constructions and $C^*$-algebraic methods. As a byproduct, we resolve an open question from Ito's thesis concerning the bounded dynamical asymptotic dimension of tiling groupoids. Furthermore, this result allows us to extend the classification theorem of Ito, Whittaker, and Zacharias to the twisted case.
