Poissonian pair correlations for dependent random variables

Number Theory 2026-01-13 v4 Probability

Abstract

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 literature, namely sequences of jittered samples and random walks on the torus. We show that for the former class, the PPC property depends on how the finite sample is extended to an infinite sequence. Moreover, we prove that, under some mild assumptions, the random walk on the torus generically has PPC.
