We establish an asymptotic formula, uniformly down to the Planck scale, for the number of small gaps between the first N eigenvalues of the Laplacian on almost all flat tori and also on almost all rectangular flat tori.
A sequence $(x_n)$ on the torus is said to have Poissonian pair correlations if $\# \{1\le i\neq j\le N: |x_i-x_j| \le s/N\}=2sN(1+o(1))$ for all reals $s>0$, as $N\to \infty$. It is known that, if $(x_n)$ has Poissonian pair correlations,…
We prove that any increasing sequence of real numbers with average gap $1$ and Poisson pair correlations has some gap that is at least $3/2+10^{-9}$. This improves upon a result of Aistleitner, Blomer, and Radziwill.
A general approach to proving that the length spectrum of a compact Riemannian manifold is an invariant of the Laplace spectrum comes from considering the wave trace, a spectrally determined tempered distribution. The Poisson relation…
A sequence $(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ on the torus $\mathbb{T} \cong [0,1]$ is said to exhibit Poissonian pair correlation if the local gaps behave like the gaps of a Poisson random variable, i.e. $$ \lim_{N \rightarrow \infty}{ \frac{1}{N} \#…
The aim of the present article is to introduce a concept which allows to generalise the notion of Poissonian pair correlation, a second-order equidistribution property, to higher dimensions. Roughly speaking, in the one-dimensional setting,…
We consider finite Bernoulli convolutions with a parameter $1/2 < r < 1$ supported on a discrete point set, generically of size $2^N$. These sequences are uniformly distributed with respect to the infinite Bernoulli convolution measure…
We consider the eigenvalue pair correlation problem for certain integrable quantum maps on the 2-sphere. The classical maps are time one maps of Hamiltonian flows of perfect Morse functions. The quantizations are unitary operators on spaces…
A generic uniformly distributed random sequence on the unit interval has Poissonian pair correlations. At the same time, there are only very few explicitly known examples of sequences with this property. Moreover, many types of…
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,…
We study the correlations of pairs of complex logarithms of $\mathbb Z$-lattice points in the complex line at various scalings, proving the existence of pair correlation functions. We prove that at the linear scaling, the pair correlations…
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…
We study the size of the minimal gap between the first N eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a rectangular billiard having irrational squared aspect ratio $\alpha$, in comparison to the corresponding quantity for a Poissonian sequence. If…
The limiting function $f(s)$ of the pair correlation \[ \frac{1}{N} \# \left\{ 1 \leq i\neq j\leq N \middle\vert \left\lVert x_i - x_j \right\rVert \leq \frac{s}{N} \right\} \] for a sequence $(x_N)_{N \in \mathbb{N}}$ on the torus…
It is well known that the standard flat torus $\mathbb{T}^2=\mathbb{R}^2/\Z^2$ has arbitrarily large Laplacian-eigenvalue multiplicities. We prove, however, that $24$ is the optimal upper bound for the multiplicities of the nonzero…
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…
We present a conjecture describing new long range correlations among the Riemann zeros leading to 3 principal features: (i) The spectral auto-correlation is invariant w.r.t. the averaging window. (ii) Resurgence occurs wherein the lowest…
The pair correlation statistic is an important concept in real uniform distribution theory. Therefore, sequences in the unit interval with (weak) Poissonian pair correlations have attracted a lot of attention in recent time. The aim of this…
This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the spectral properties of the connection Laplacian for both real and discrete tori. We introduce novel methods to examine these eigenvalues by employing parallel orthonormal basis in the…
In 1964, John Milnor, using a construction of two lattices by Witt, produced the first example of two flat tori that are not globally isometric and whose Laplacians for exterior forms have the same sequence of eigenvalues. The…
