Abstract

In a recent paper of Blomer, Bourgain, Radziwi{\l}{\l} and Rudnick, the authors proved the existence of small gaps between eigenvalues of the Laplacian in a rectangular billiard with sides π\pi and π/α\pi/\sqrt\alpha, i.e. numbers of the form αm2+n2\alpha m^2+ n^2, whenever α\alpha is a quadratic irrationality of certain types. In this note, we extend their results to all positive quadratic irrationalities α\alpha.
