A note on sequences not having metric Poissonian pair correlations

Number Theory 2021-01-12 v3

Abstract

The purpose of this note is to present a construction of sequences which do not have metric Poissonian pair correlations (MPPC) and whose additive energies grow at rates that come arbitrarily close to a threshold below which it is believed that all sequences have MPPC. A similar result appears in work of Lachmann and Technau and is proved using a totally different strategy. The main novelty here is the simplicity of the proof, which we arrive at by modifying a construction of Bourgain.
