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…

Let $x(n):=\alpha n^d \mod 1$ for integer $d >1$ and non-zero real $\alpha$. We show that $\{x(n)\}_{n>0}$ has Poissonian $\ell$-point correlations for almost all choices of $\alpha$ when $d$ is large (depending on $\ell$). This falls in…

In this note we study the $\sigma$-pair correlation density \begin{equation*}R_2^\sigma([a,b], \{ \theta_n \}_n, N)= \frac{1}{N^{2-\sigma}} \# \big \{ 1 \leq j \neq k \leq N \, \big| \, \theta_{j} - \theta_{k} \in \big […

Let $X_1, X_2,\ldots, X_n$ be $n$ independent and identically distributed random variables, here $n \geq 2.$ Let $X_{(1)}, X_{(2)}, \ldots, X_{(n)}$ be the order statistics of $X_1, X_2,..., X_n.$ In this note we proved that: (I) If $X_1,…

We investigate the level spacing distribution for the quantum spectrum of the square billiard. Extending work of Connors--Keating, and Smilansky, we formulate an analog of the Hardy--Littlewood prime $k$-tuple conjecture for sums of two…

We examine a generalization of the binomial distribution associated with a strictly increasing sequence of numbers and we prove its Poisson-like limit. Such generalizations might be found in quantum optics with imperfect detection. We…

The well-known "Janson's inequality" gives Poisson-like upper bounds for the lower tail probability \Pr(X \le (1-\eps)\E X) when X is the sum of dependent indicator random variables of a special form. We show that, for large deviations,…

The classical Erd\H os-Ko-Rado (EKR) Theorem states that if we choose a family of subsets, each of size (k), from a fixed set of size (n (n > 2k)), then the largest possible pairwise intersecting family has size (t ={n-1\choose k-1}). We…

Correlation measure of order $k$ is an important measure of randomness in binary sequences. This measure tries to look for dependence between several shifted version of a sequence. We study the relation between the correlation measure of…

Sharp upper and lower bounds are established for the modes of the Poisson distribution of order k. The lower bound established in this paper is better than the previously established lower bound. In addition, for k = 2, 3, 4, 5, a recent…

We formulate the non-linear field theory for a fluctuating counter-ion distribution in the presence of a fixed, arbitrary charge distribution. The Poisson-Boltzmann equation is obtained as the saddle-point, and the effects of fluctuations…

For fixed $\alpha \in [0,1]$, consider the set $S_{\alpha,N}$ of dilated squares $\alpha, 4\alpha, 9\alpha, \dots, N^2\alpha \, $ modulo $1$. Rudnick and Sarnak conjectured that for Lebesgue almost all such $\alpha$ the gap-distribution of…
