We introduce two new characterizations of Meyer sets. A repetitive Delone set in ℝ d of finite local complexity is topologically conjugate to a Meyer set if and only if it has d linearly independent topological eigenvalues, which is if and only if it is topologically conjugate to a bundle over a d ‐torus with totally disconnected compact fiber and expansive canonical action. ‘Conjugate to’ is a non‐trivial condition, as we show that there exist sets that are topologically conjugate to Meyer sets but are not themselves Meyer. We also exhibit a diffractive set that is not Meyer, answering in the negative a question posed by Lagarias, and exhibit a Meyer set for which the measurable and topological eigenvalues are different.
