Let $(x_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence on the torus $\mathbb{T}$ (normalized to length 1). A sequence $(x_n)$ is said to have Poissonian pair correlation if, for all $s>0$, $$ \lim_{N \rightarrow \infty}{ \frac{1}{N} \# \left\{ 1 \leq m…
Let $(x_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ be a sequence of integers. We study the number variance of dilations $(\alpha x_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ modulo 1 in intervals of length $S$, and establish pseudorandom (Poissonian) behavior for Lebesgue-almost all $\alpha$…
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…
A deterministic sequence of real numbers in the unit interval is called \emph{equidistributed} if its empirical distribution converges to the uniform distribution. Furthermore, the limit distribution of the pair correlation statistics of a…
We say that a sequence $\{x_n\}_{n \geq 1}$ in $[0,1)$ has Poissonian pair correlations if \begin{equation*} \lim_{N \rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{N} \# \left\{ 1 \leq l \neq m \leq N \, : \, \left\lVert x_l-x_m \right\rVert < \frac{s}{N}…
We give heuristic arguments and computer results to support the hypothesis that, after appropriate rescaling, the statistics of spacings between adjacent prime numbers follows the Poisson distribution. The scaling transformation removes the…
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…
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…
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 study the distribution of spacings between squares modulo q as the number of prime divisors of q tends to infinity. In an earlier paper Kurlberg and Rudnick proved that the spacing distribution for square free q is Poissonian, this paper…
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,…
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…
If f is a polynomial with integer coefficients and q is an integer, we may regard f as a map from Z/qZ to Z/qZ. We show that the distribution of the (normalized) spacings between consecutive elements in the image of these maps becomes…
We study the distribution of the minimum spacing between eigenvalues of a random n by n unitary matrix. The minimum spacing scales as $n^{-4/3}$, not $n^{-2}$ as would be the case for n independent points on the unit circle, illustrating…
Extremal spacings between eigenvalues of random unitary matrices of size N pertaining to circular ensembles are investigated. Explicit probability distributions for the minimal spacing for various ensembles are derived for N = 4. We study…
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…
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…
This is a review of several results related to distribution of powers and combination of powers modulo 1. We include a proof that given a sequence of real numbers $\theta_n$, it is possible to get an $\alpha$ (given $\lambda \ne 0$), or a…
We study the distribution modulo one of linear recurrent sequences of real numbers. We prove criteria for the finiteness of the set of limit values of the fractional parts of such a sequence and give lower bounds for the maximal distance…
Given a strictly increasing sequence of positive real numbers tending to infinity $(q_{n})_{n=1}^{\infty}$, and an arbitrary sequence of real numbers $(r_{n})_{n=1}^{\infty}.$ We study the set of $\alpha\in(1,\infty)$ for which…
