The Poisson distribution of order $k$ is a special case of a compound Poisson distribution. For $k=1$ it is the standard Poisson distribution. Although its probability mass function (pmf) is known, what is lacking is a $visual$…

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…

For a sequence of integers $\{a(x)\}_{x \geq 1}$ we show that the distribution of the pair correlations of the fractional parts of $\{ \langle \alpha a(x) \rangle \}_{x \geq 1}$ is asymptotically Poissonian for almost all $\alpha$ if the…

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…

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} \#…

We say that a sequence $(x_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ in $[0,1)$ has Poissonian pair correlations if \begin{equation*} \lim_{N \to \infty} \frac{1}{N} \# \left \lbrace 1 \leq l \neq m \leq N: \| x_l - x_m \| \leq \frac{s}{N} \right \rbrace = 2s…

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>=…

The factorial moments of the standard Poisson distribution are well known. The present note presents an explicit combinatorial sum for the factorial moments of the Poisson distribution of order $k$. Unlike the standard Poisson distribution…

We study the value distribution of diagonal forms in k variables and degree d with random real coefficients and positive integer variables, normalized so that mean spacing is one. We show that the l-correlation of almost all such forms is…

Although a generic uniformly distributed sequence has Poissonian pair correlations, only one explicit example has been found up to now. Additionally, it is even known that many classes of uniformly distributed sequences, like van der Corput…

In this paper we consider the fractional parts of a general sequence, for example the sequence $\alpha \sqrt{n}$ or $\alpha n^2$. We give a general method, which allows one to show that long-range correlations (correlations where the…

We consider sequences of the form $\left(a_{n} \alpha\right)_{n}$ mod 1, where $\alpha\in\left[0,1\right]$ and where $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n}$ is a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers. If the asymptotic distribution of the pair…

We study the notion of inhomogeneous Poissonian pair correlations, proving several properties that show similarities and differences to its homogeneous counterpart. In particular, we show that sequences with inhomogeneous Poissonian pair…

In this article we prove that if the additive energy of a strictly increasing sequence $(a_n)$ of natural numbers is less than $N^3/(\log N)^C$ for some $C\geq13.155$, then $(\{a_n\alpha\})$ has Poissonian pair correlation for almost all…

The purpose of this note is to present a construction of sequences which do not have metric Poissonian pair correlations (MPPC) and whose additive energies grow at rates that come arbitrarily close to a threshold below which it is believed…

The pair correlation is a localized statistic for sequences in the unit interval. Pseudo-random behavior with respect to this statistic is called Poissonian behavior. The metric theory of pair correlations of sequences of the form $(a_n…

This study is motivated by a series of recent papers that show that, if a given deterministic sequence in the unit interval has a Poisson pair correlation function, then the sequence is uniformly distributed. Analogous results have been…

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,…
