We asymptotically estimate the variance of the number of lattice points in a thin, randomly rotated annulus lying on the surface of the sphere. This partially resolves a conjecture of Bourgain, Rudnick, and Sarnak. We also obtain estimates…
In this note we will consider the question when from the appropriate behavior of a sequence of points on caps we can conclude that the sequence is uniformly distributed on the sphere.
We evaluate the variance of the number of lattice points in a small randomly rotated spherical ball on a surface of 3-dimensional sphere centered at the origin. Previously, Bourgain, Rudnick, and Sarnak showed conditionally on the…
Geometric properties of $N$ random points distributed independently and uniformly on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d}\subset\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ with respect to surface area measure are obtained and several related conjectures are posed. In…
Linnik proved in the late 1950's the equidistribution of integer points on large spheres under a congruence condition. The congruence condition was lifted in 1988 by Duke (building on a break-through by Iwaniec) using completely different…
We study a variant of the equidistribution of mass conjecture on the sphere posed by B\"ocherer, Sarnak, and Schulze-Pillot: quantum unique ergodicity in shrinking sets. Conditionally on the generalized Lindel\"of hypothesis, we show that…
We bound the number of incidences between points and spheres in finite vector spaces by bounding the sum of the number of points in the pairwise intersections of the spheres. We obtain new incidence bounds that are interesting when the…
We consider rational points on the sphere and investigate their equidistribution in shrinking spherical caps. For the two-dimensional sphere, we leverage Hecke operators to obtain a significantly improved small-scale equidistribution bound,…
We derive fundamental asymptotic results for the expected covering radius $\rho(X_N)$ for $N$ points that are randomly and independently distributed with respect to surface measure on a sphere as well as on a class of smooth manifolds. For…
How to distribute a set of points uniformly on a spherical surface is a very old problem that still lacks a definite answer. In this work, we introduce a physical measure of uniformity based on the distribution of distances between points,…
We considered the problem of obtaining upper bounds for the mathematical expectation of the $q$-norm ($2\leqslant q \leqslant \infty$) of the vector which is uniformly distributed on the unit Euclidean sphere. We finish the paper with…
In this work we present a study on the characterization of ordered and disordered hyperuniform point distributions on spherical surfaces. In spite of the extensive literature on disordered hyperuniform systems in Euclidean geometries, to…
We start by providing a very simple and elementary new proof of the classical bound due to J. Beck which states that the spherical cap $\mathbb{L}_2$-discrepancy of any $N$ points on the unit sphere $\mathbb S^d$ in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$,…
In this paper we study the geometric discrepancy of explicit constructions of uniformly distributed points on the two-dimensional unit sphere. We show that the spherical cap discrepancy of random point sets, of spherical digital nets and of…
The spherical cap discrepancy is a widely used measure for how uniformly a sample of points on the sphere is distributed. Being hard to compute, this discrepancy measure is typically replaced by some lower or upper estimates when designing…
In this paper we prove asymptotic upper bounds on the variance of the number of vertices and missed area of inscribed random disc-polygons in smooth convex discs whose boundary is $C^2_+$. We also consider a circumscribed variant of this…
The set of primitive vectors on large spheres in the euclidean space of dimension d>2 equidistribute when projected on the unit sphere. We consider here a refinement of this problem concerning the direction of the vector together with the…
The minimal spherical cap dispersion ${\rm disp}_{\mathcal{C}}(n,d)$ is the largest number $\varepsilon\in (0,1]$ such that, for every $n$ points on the $d$-dimensional Euclidean unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^d$, there exists a spherical cap with…
We consider circles of common centre and increasing radius on a compact hyperbolic surface and, more generally, on its unit tangent bundle. We establish a precise asymptotics for their rate of equidistribution. Our result holds for…
We study the spatial distribution of point sets on the sphere obtained from the representation of a large integer as a sum of three integer squares. We examine several statistics of these point sets, such as the electrostatic potential,…
