Fix α, θ > 0, and consider the sequence (αn mod 1)n≥1. Since the seminal work of Rudnick– Sarnak (1998), and due to the Berry–Tabor conjecture in quantum chaos, the fine-scale properties of these dilated mononomial sequences have been intensively studied. In this paper we show that for θ ≤ 1/3, and α > 0, the pair correlation function is Poissonian. While (for a given θ 6= 1) this strong pseudo-randomness property has been proven for almost all values of α, there are next-to-no instances where…

It was proved by Weyl [8] in 1916 that the sequence of values of αn2 is uniformly distributed modulo 1, for any fixed real irrational α. Indeed this result covered sequences αnd for any fixed…
Pair correlation of values of rational functions (mod p)
1. Introduction. The problem of understanding the distribution of fractional parts of polynomials has a long history. Weyl [19] proved that, for any polynomial f (x) = α d x d + α d−1 x d−1 + · · · +…
A pair correlation problem, and counting lattice points with the zeta function
The pair correlation is a localized statistic for sequences in the unit interval. Pseudo-random behavior with respect to this statistic is called Poissonian behavior. The metric theory of pair…
The Pair Correlation Function of Fractional Parts of Polynomials
Abstract: We investigate the pair correlation function of the sequence of fractional parts of αnd, n=1,2,…,N, where d≥ 2 is an integer and α an irrational. We conjecture that for badly approximable…

Measure rigidity is a branch of ergodic theory that has recently contributed to the solution of some fundamental problems in number theory and mathematical physics. Examples are proofs of…
The two-point correlation function of the fractional parts of √ n is Poisson ∗
Elkies and McMullen [Duke Math. J. 123 (2004) 95–139] have shown that the gaps between the fractional parts of √ n for n = 1, . . . , N , have a limit distribution as N tends to infinity. The limit…
Minimal Gaps and Additive Energy in real-valued sequences
Abstract. We study the minimal gap statistic for sequences of the form (αxn) ∞ n=1 where (xn) ∞ n=1 is a sequence of real numbers, and its connection to the additive energy of (xn) ∞ n=1. Inspired by…
Additive energy and the Hausdorff dimension of the exceptional set in metric pair correlation problems
For a sequence of integers {a(x)}x≥1 we show that the distribution of the pair correlations of the fractional parts of {〈αa(x)〉}x≥1 is asymptotically Poissonian for almost all α if the additive…
Gaps in √n mod 1 and ergodic theory
Cut the unit circle S = R/Z at the points { √ 1}, { √ 2}, . . . , { √ N }, where {x} = x mod 1, and let J1, . . . , JN denote the complementary intervals, or gaps, that remain. We show that, in…
