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…
Fix $\alpha>0$, then by Fej\'er's theorem $ (\alpha(\log n)^{A}\,\mathrm{mod}\,1)_{n\geq1}$ is uniformly distributed if and only if $A>1$. We sharpen this by showing that all correlation functions, and hence the gap distribution, are…
In this paper we extend the well-known investigations of Montgomery and Goldston & Montgomery, concerning the pair-correlation function and its relations with the distribution of primes in short intervals, to a more general version of the…
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…
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…
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…
We consider Poissonian pair correlations (PPC) for uniformly distributed sequences of random numbers with a dependency structure. More specifically, we treat two classes of dependent random variables which have widely been studied in the…
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 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.…
We show that correlation functions have to satisfy contraint relations, owing to the non-negativity of the power spectrum of the underlying random process. Specifically, for any statistically homogeneous and (for more than one spatial…
Let $(f_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of polynomials and $\alpha>1$. In this paper we study the distribution of the sequence $(f_n(\alpha))_{n=1}^{\infty}$ modulo one. We give sufficient conditions for a sequence $(f_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$…
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…
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 show for a class of sequences $(a_n)_{n\geq 1}$ of distinct positive integers, that for no $\alpha$ the sequence $(\left\{a_n \alpha \right\})_{n \geq 1}$ does have Poissonian pair correlation. This class contains for example all…
In this article, we investigate the fine-scale statistics of real-valued arithmetic sequences. In particular, we focus on real-valued vector sequences and show the Poissonian behavior of the pair correlation function for certain classes of…
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…
We consider finite Bernoulli convolutions with a parameter $1/2 < r < 1$ supported on a discrete point set, generically of size $2^N$. These sequences are uniformly distributed with respect to the infinite Bernoulli convolution measure…
This paper investigates the randomness properties of a function of the divisor pairs of a natural number. This function, the antecedents of which go to very ancient times, has randomness properties that can find applications in…
Our interest is in the scaled joint distribution associated with $k$-increasing subsequences for random involutions with a prescribed number of fixed points. We proceed by specifying in terms of correlation functions the same distribution…
In the present paper the low density limit of the non-chronological multitime correlation functions of boson number type operators is investigated. We prove that the limiting truncated non-chronological correlation can be computed using…
