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.
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 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…
Parametric energy-level correlation describes the response of the energy-level statistics to an external parameter such as the magnetic field. Using semiclassical periodic-orbit theory for a chaotic system, we evaluate the parametric…
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…
For a real-valued sequence $(x_n)_{n=1}^\infty$, denote by $S_N(\ell)$ the number of its first $N$ fractional parts lying in a random interval of size $\ell:=L/N$, where $L=o(N)$ as $N\to\infty$. We study the variance of $S_N(\ell)$ (the…
We define auto- and cross-correlation functions capable to capture dynamical characteristics induced by local phase space structures in a general dynamical system. These correlation functions are calculated in the Standard Map for a range…
Poissonian pair correlations have sparked interest within the mathematical community, because of their number theoretic properties, and their connections to quantum physics and probability theory, particularly uniformly distributed random…
We study the role of multi-particle spatial correlations in the appearance of a liquid-vapour critical point. Our analysis is based on the exact infinite hierarchy of equations relating spatial integrals of $(k+1)$-particle correlations to…
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,…
The investigation of the pair correlation statistics of sequences was initially motivated by questions concerning quasi-energy-spectra of quantum systems. However, the subject has been developed far beyond its roots in mathematical physics,…
We study the properties of the level statistics of 1D disordered systems with long-range spatial correlations. We find a threshold value in the degree of correlations below which in the limit of large system size the level statistics…
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.…
A classical theorem of Koksma states that for Lebesgue almost every $x>1$ the sequence $(x^n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is uniformly distributed modulo one. In the present paper we extend Koksma's theorem to the pair correlation setting. More…
We give a survey on the concept of Poissonian pair correlation (PPC) of sequences in the unit interval, on existing and recent results and we state a list of open problems. Moreover, we present and discuss a quite recent multi-dimensional…
We consider strictly increasing sequences $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n \geq 1}$ of integers and sequences of fractional parts $\left(\left\{a_{n} \alpha\right\}\right)_{n \geq 1}$ where $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$. We show that a small additive…
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…
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…
We show for sequences $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ of distinct positive integers with maximal order of additive energy, that the sequence $\left(\left\{a_{n} \alpha\right\}\right)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ does not have Poissonian pair…
We derive a local approximation for the correlation energy in two-dimensional electronic systems. In the derivation we follow the scheme originally developed by Colle and Salvetti for three dimensions, and consider a Gaussian approximation…
