The investigation of the pair correlation statistics of sequences was initially motivated by questions concerning quasi-energy-spectra of quantum systems. However, the subject has been developed far beyond its roots in mathematical physics,…
Fix $\alpha>0$, then by Fej\'er's theorem $ (\alpha(\log n)^{A}\,\mathrm{mod}\,1)_{n\geq1}$ is uniformly distributed if and only if $A>1$. We sharpen this by showing that all correlation functions, and hence the gap distribution, are…
It is an open question whether the fractional parts of nonlinear polynomials at integers have the same fine-scale statistics as a Poisson point process. Most results towards an affirmative answer have so far been restricted to almost sure…
A well known result in the theory of uniform distribution modulo one (which goes back to Fej\'er and Csillag) states that the fractional parts $\{n^\alpha\}$ of the sequence $(n^\alpha)_{n\ge1}$ are uniformly distributed in the unit…
Inspired by R. Speicher's multidimensional free central limit theorem and semicircle families, we prove an infinite dimensional compound Poisson limit theorem in free probability, and define infinite dimensional compound free Poisson…
We consider logics with truth values in the unit interval $[0,1]$. Such logics are used to define queries and to define probability distributions. In this context the notion of almost sure equivalence of formulas is generalized to the…
We consider $N$ events that are defined on a common probability space. Those events shell have a common probability function that is symmetric with respect to interchanging the events. We ask for the probability distribution of the number…
The Poisson distribution of order $k$ is a special case of a compound Poisson distribution. Its mean and variance are known, but results for its median and mode are difficult to obtain, although a few cases have been solved and upper/lower…
Let $(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence on the torus $\mathbb{T}$ (normalized to length 1). We show that if there exists a sequence of positive real numbers $(t_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ converging to 0 such that $$\lim_{N \rightarrow \infty}{…
Random geometric graphs consist of randomly distributed nodes (points), with pairs of nodes within a given mutual distance linked. In the usual model the distribution of nodes is uniform on a square, and in the limit of infinitely many…
Let $\alpha_n(\cdot)=P\bigl(X_{n+1}\in\cdot\mid X_1,\ldots,X_n\bigr)$ be the predictive distributions of a sequence $(X_1,X_2,\ldots)$ of $p$-dimensional random vectors. Suppose $$\alpha_n= \mathcal{N} _p (M_n,Q_n)$$ where…
Given a set of independent Poisson random variables with common mean, we study the distribution of their maximum and obtain an accurate asymptotic formula to locate the most probable value of the maximum. We verify our analytic results with…
In this article we study the pair correlation statistic for higher dimensional sequences. We show that for any $d\geq 2$, strictly increasing sequences $(a_n^{(1)}),\ldots, (a_n^{(d)})$ of natural numbers have metric Poissonian pair…
In this article, we investigate the fine-scale statistics of real-valued arithmetic sequences. In particular, we focus on real-valued vector sequences and show the Poissonian behavior of the pair correlation function for certain classes of…
It has been known since Vinogradov that, for irrational $\alpha$, the sequence of fractional parts $\{\alpha p\}$ is equidistributed in $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ as $p$ ranges over primes. There is a natural second-order equidistribution…
We establish new conditions under which a sequence of real numbers has metric Poissonian pair correlation. These conditions strengthen results of Aistleitner, El-Baz and Munsch (2021) and resolve one of their open problems under a mild…
Symmetry is a cornerstone of much of mathematics, and many probability distributions possess symmetries characterized by their invariance to a collection of group actions. Thus, many mathematical and statistical methods rely on such…
The correlation measure is a testimony of the pseudorandomness of a sequence $\infw{s}$ and provides information about the independence of some parts of $\infw{s}$ and their shifts. Combined with the well-distribution measure, a sequence…
Niederreiter and Halton sequences are two prominent classes of multi-dimensional sequences which are widely used in practice for numerical integration methods because of their excellent distribution qualities. In this paper, we show that…
In the first part we associate a periodic sequence to a partition and study the connection the distribution of elements of uniform limit of the sequences. Then some facts of statistical independence of these limits are proved
