Pair Correlation for Fractional Parts of $\alpha n^2$

Number Theory 2015-05-13 v1

Abstract

We construct real numbers α\alpha for which the pair correlation function N^{-1}#\{m<n\le N:||\alpha m^2-\alpha n^2||\le XN^{-1}\} tends to XX as NN grows. Moreover we show for any "Diophantine" α\alpha that the pair correlation function is X+O(X7/8)+O((logN)1X+O(X^{7/8})+O((\log N)^{-1} for 1XlogN1\le X\le\log N.
