Abstract: Let $(x_n{)}_{n=1}^{infty}$ be a sequence on the torus $mathbbT$ (normalized to length 1). We show that if there exists a sequence of positive real numbers $(t_n{)}_{n=1}^{infty}$ converging to 0 such that ${\displaystyle }$lim_{N ightarrow infty}{ frac{1}{N^2} sum_{m,n = 1}^{N}{ frac{1}{sqrt{t_N}} exp{left(- frac{1}{t_N} (x_m - x_n)^2 ight)}} } = sqrt{pi},${\displaystyle }$ then $(x_n{)}_{n=1}^{infty}$ is uniformly distributed. This is especially interesting when $t_N$ is close to $N^{-2}$ since the size of the sum is then mostly determined by local gaps at scale $sim{N}^{-1}$. A similar argument can then be used to show equidistribution of sequences with Poissonian pair correlation, which recovers a recent result of Aistleitner, Lachmann & Pausinger and Grepstad & Larcher. The general form of the result is proven on arbitrary compact manifolds $(M,g)$ where the role of the exponential function is played by the heat kernel $e^{tDelta}$: for all $x_1,dots,x_{N}inM$ and all $t>0$ ${\displaystyle }$frac{1}{N^2} sum_{m,n=1}^N {[e^{tDelta}delta_{x_m}](x_n)} geq frac{1}{vol(M)}${\displaystyle }$ and equality is attained as $Nightarrowinfty$ if and only if $(x_n{)}_{n=1}^{i}nfty$ equidistributes.
