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…

Fix $\alpha,\theta >0$, and consider the sequence $(\alpha n^{\theta} \mod 1)_{n\ge 1}$. Since the seminal work of Rudnick--Sarnak (1998), and due to the Berry--Tabor conjecture in quantum chaos, the fine-scale properties of these dilated…

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…

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…

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…

We study the distribution of normalized spacings between the fractional parts of an^2, n=1,2,.... We conjecture that if a is "badly approximable" by rationals, then the sequence of fractional parts has Poisson spacings, and give a number of…

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 $\left(a_{n} \alpha \right)_{n\geq 1}$ is uniformly distributed modulo one for…

We study the statistics of pairs from the sequence $(n^\alpha)_{n\in\mathbb{N}^*}$, for every parameter $\alpha \in \, ]0,1[$. We prove the convergence of the empirical pair correlation measures towards a measure with an explicit density.…

In this article, we examine the Poissonian pair correlation (PPC) statistic for higher-dimensional real sequences. Specifically, we demonstrate that for $d\geq 3$, almost all $(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_d) \in \mathbb{R}^d$, the sequence…

$k$-level correlation is a local statistic of sequences modulo 1, describing the local spacings of $k$-tuples of elements. For $k = 2$ this is also known as pair correlation. We show that there exists a well spaced increasing sequence 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,…

Elkies and McMullen [Duke Math.J.~123 (2004) 95--139] have shown that the gaps between the fractional parts of \sqrt n for n=1,\ldots,N, have a limit distribution as N tends to infinity. The limit distribution is non-standard and differs…

We show that any sequence $(x_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \subseteq [0,1]$ that has Poissonian correlations of $k$-th order is uniformly distributed, also providing a quantitative description of this phenomenon. Additionally, we extend…

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…

Let $\{ a(x) \}_{x=1}^{\infty}$ be a positive, real-valued, lacunary sequence. This note shows that the pair correlation function of the fractional parts of the dilations $\alpha a(x)$ is Poissonian for Lebesgue almost every $\alpha\in…

We study the behavior of the random walk in a continuum independent long-range percolation model, in which two given vertices $x$ and $y$ are connected with probability that asymptotically behaves like $|x-y|^{-\alpha}$ with $\alpha>d$,…

Pearson's correlation is an important summary measure of the amount of dependence between two variables. It is natural to want to generalise the concept of correlation as a single number that measures the inter-relatedness of three or more…

In this paper, we introduce and study fractional versions of three compound Poisson processes, namely, the Bell-Touchard process, the Poisson-logarithmic process and the generalized P\'olya-Aeppli process. It is shown that these processes…

We study intermediate-scale statistics for the fractional parts of the sequence $(\alpha a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$, where $(a_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is a positive, real-valued lacunary sequence, and $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}$. In particular, we consider…

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…
