Abstract
Fix , then by Fej\'er's theorem is uniformly distributed if and only if . We sharpen this by showing that all correlation functions, and hence the gap distribution, are Poissonian provided . This is the first example of a deterministic sequence modulo one whose gap distribution, and all of whose correlations are proven to be Poissonian. The range of is optimal and complements a result of Marklof and Str\"{o}mbergsson who found the limiting gap distribution of , which is necessarily not Poissonian.
