For a point set in the multidimensional unit torus we introduce an Lk-measure of uniformity of distribution, which for k=2 reduces to diaphony (and thus in this case essentially coincides with Weyl L2-discrepancy). For k ∈ [1, 2] we establish a sharp asymptotic for this new measure as the number of points of the set tends to infinity. Upper and lower-bound estimates are given also for k >2.
