On the multiplicative pair correlations of sums of two squares

Number Theory 2026-02-16 v1

Abstract

We study the pair correlations of the logarithms of the integral values of quadratic norm forms at various scalings, proving the existence of pair correlation measures. We describe a surprising set of asymptotic behaviours when the scaling increases, passing from a punctual measure to a Poissonian behaviour through an exotic behaviour at the transition phase.
