Review text

Part I of the paper contains a collection of theorems and conjectures about irregularities of distribution. In the other parts, let \(\alpha\) be a quadratic irrational. (In some theorems it could more generally be a real number whose partial quotients are ``sufficiently regular.) Part II is an overview of the author's probabilistic theorems about the number of integral solutions of \(\| n\alpha-\beta\| < \gamma/(2n)\) or \(\| n\alpha-\beta\| < \gamma/2\), where \(1\leq n\leq N\) and \(\beta\) and \(\gamma\) are constants. Parts III and V are devoted to results about Cesàro means of \(\sum_1^N\{n\alpha\}\) or \(\sum_1^N(\{n\alpha\}-\frac 12)\). There is a close connection with the Hirzebruch-Meyer-Zagier formula. Part IV outlines a proof of a partial result about Yokoi's class number one conjecture. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0903.00053].
