Let $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n}$ be a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers, denote by $A_{N}=\left\{ a_{n}:\,n\leq N\right\} $ its truncations, and let $\alpha\in\left[0,1\right]$. We prove that if the additive energy…

We show for sequences $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ of distinct positive integers with maximal order of additive energy, that the sequence $\left(\left\{a_{n} \alpha\right\}\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ does not have Poissonian pair…

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…

Let $ (\bx(n))_{n \geq 1} $ be an $s-$dimensional Niederreiter-Xing sequence in base $b$. Let $D((\bx(n))_{n = 1}^{N})$ be the discrepancy of the sequence $ (\bx(n))_{n = 1}^{N} $. It is known that $N D((\bx(n))_{n = 1}^{N}) =O(\ln^s N)$ as…

Let $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a lacunary sequence of positive real numbers. Rudnick and Technau showed that for almost all $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$, the pair correlation of $\left(\alpha a_{n}\right)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ mod 1 is…

Let $T$ be a measure preserving $\mathbb{Z}^\ell$-action on the probability space $(X,{\mathcal B},\mu),$ $q_1,\dots,q_m:{\mathbb R}\to{\mathbb R}^\ell$ vector polynomials, and $f_0,\dots,f_m\in L^\infty(X)$. For any $\epsilon > 0$ and…

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…

We show that sequences of the form $\alpha n^{\theta} \pmod{1}$ with $\alpha > 0$ and $0 < \theta < \tfrac{43}{117} = \tfrac{1}{3} + 0.0341 \ldots$ have Poissonian pair correlation. This improves upon the previous result by Lutsko,…

Let $m\geq 3$, we prove that $(\alpha n^\theta \mod 1)_{n>0}$ has Poissonian $m$-point correlation for all $\alpha>0$, provided $\theta<\theta_m$, where $\theta_m$ is an explicit bound which goes to $0$ as $m$ increases. This work builds on…

We determine the pair correlations of countable sets $T \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ satisfying natural equidistribution conditions. The pair correlations are computed as the volume of a certain region in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$, which can be expressed…

Given an increasing sequence of integers a(n), it is known (due to Weyl) that for almost all reals t, the fractional parts of the dilated sequence t*a(n) are uniformly distributed in the unit interval. Some effort has been made recently to…

For N=1,2,..., let S_N be a simple random sample of size n=n_N from a population A_N of size N, where 0<=n<=N. Then with f_N=n/N, the sampling fraction, and 1_A the inclusion indicator that A is in S_N, for any H a subset of A_N of size k>=…

In this article, we consider a stationary array $(X_{j,n})_{1 \leq j \leq n, n \geq 1}$ of random variables with values in $\bR \verb2\2 \{0\}$ (which satisfy some asymptotic dependence conditions), and the corresponding sequence…

The gaps in the sequence $\{\sqrt{n}\}$ were shown by Elkies-McMullen (2004) to have a limiting distribution which is not the exponential distribution. However it is conjectured that the distribution of gaps in the sequence…

We consider Poissonian pair correlations (PPC) for uniformly distributed sequences of random numbers with a dependency structure. More specifically, we treat two classes of dependent random variables which have widely been studied in the…

Koksma's equidistribution theorem from 1935 states that for Lebesgue almost every $\alpha>1$, the fractional parts of the geometric progression $(\alpha^{n})_{n\geq1}$ are equidistributed modulo one. In the present paper we sharpen this…

For $0<q\le 2,\ 1\le k < n,$ let $X=(X_1,...,X_n)$ and $Y=(Y_1,...,Y_n)$ be symmetric $q$-stable random vectors so that the joint distributions of $X_1,...,X_k$ and $X_{k+1},...,X_n$ are equal to the joint distributions of $Y_1,...,Y_k$ and…

Given a family $\mathcal{F}$ of subsets of $[n]$, we say two sets $A, B \in \mathcal{F}$ are comparable if $A \subset B$ or $B \subset A$. Sperner's celebrated theorem gives the size of the largest family without any comparable pairs. This…

An important result of H. Weyl states that for every sequence $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n\geq 1}$ of distinct positive integers the sequence of fractional parts of $\left(a_{n} \alpha \right)_{n \geq1}$ is uniformly distributed modulo one for…

{\bf Abstract.} Considered is the distribution of the cross correlation between $m$-sequences of length $2^m-1$, where $m$ is even, and $m$-sequences of shorter length $2^{m/2}-1$. The infinite family of pairs of $m$-sequences with…
