Abstract

Let (fn)n=1(f_n)_{n=1}^{\infty} be a sequence of polynomials and α>1\alpha>1. In this paper we study the distribution of the sequence (fn(α))n=1(f_n(\alpha))_{n=1}^{\infty} modulo one. We give sufficient conditions for a sequence (fn)n=1(f_n)_{n=1}^{\infty} to ensure that for Lebesgue almost every α>1\alpha>1 the sequence (fn(α))n=1(f_n(\alpha))_{n=1}^{\infty} has Poissonian pair correlations. In particular, this result implies that for Lebesgue almost every α>1\alpha>1, for any k2k\geq 2 the sequence (αnk)n=1(\alpha^{n^k})_{n=1}^{\infty} has Poissonian pair correlations.
