Using a standard definition of fractional powers on the universal cover $\exp:S\to \mathbb{C}^*$ seen as an infinite helicoid embedded in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we study the statistics of pairs from the countable family $\{n^\alpha \, : \, n \in…
We study the correlations of pairs of logarithms of positive integers at various scalings, either with trivial weigths or with weights given by the Euler function, proving the existence of pair correlation functions. We prove that at the…
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…
We construct real numbers $\alpha$ for which the pair correlation function \[N^{-1}#\{m<n\le N:||\alpha m^2-\alpha n^2||\le XN^{-1}\}\] tends to $X$ as $N$ grows. Moreover we show for any "Diophantine" $\alpha$ that the pair correlation…
Let $\left(a_{n}\right)_{n}$ be a strictly increasing sequence of positive integers, denote by $A_{N}=\left\{ a_{n}:\,n\leq N\right\} $ its truncations, and let $\alpha\in\left[0,1\right]$. We prove that if the additive energy…
We study the pair correlations of the logarithms of the integral values of quadratic norm forms at various scalings, proving the existence of pair correlation measures. We describe a surprising set of asymptotic behaviours when the scaling…
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…
It is an open question whether the fractional parts of nonlinear polynomials at integers have the same fine-scale statistics as a Poisson point process. Most results towards an affirmative answer have so far been restricted to almost sure…
We study the correlations of pairs of complex logarithms of $\mathbb Z$-lattice points in the complex line at various scalings, proving the existence of pair correlation functions. We prove that at the linear scaling, the pair correlations…
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 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…
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…
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} \# \lbrace 1 \leq l \neq m \leq N: \| x_l - x_m \| \leq \frac{s}{N} \rbrace = 2s…
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…
We prove an abstract result on the correlations of pairs of elements in an exponentially growing discrete subset $\mathcal E$ of $[0,+\infty[\,$ endowed with a weight function. Assume that there exist $\alpha\in\mathbb R$, $c,\delta>0$ such…
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 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,…
Given an infinite subset $\mathcal A \subseteq\mathbb N$, let $A$ denote its smallest $N$ elements. There is a rich and growing literature on the question of whether for typical $\alpha\in[0,1]$, the pair correlations of the set $\alpha A…
A generic uniformly distributed random sequence on the unit interval has Poissonian pair correlations. At the same time, there are only very few explicitly known examples of sequences with this property. Moreover, many types of…
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…
