Abstract: Let $(x_n{)}_{n=1}^{infty}$ be a sequence on the torus $mathbbT$ (normalized to length 1). A sequence $(x_n)$ is said to have Poissonian pair correlation if, for all $s>0$, ${\displaystyle }$ lim_{N ightarrow infty}{ frac{1}{N} # left{ 1 leq m

eq n leq N: |x_m - x_n| leq frac{s}{N} ight}} = 2s.${\displaystyle }$ It is known that this implies uniform distribution of the sequence $(x_n)$. Hinrichs, Kaltenb"ock, Larcher, Stockinger & Ullrich extended this result to higher dimensions and showed that sequences $(x_n)$ in $[0,1{]}^d$ that satisfy, for all $s>0$, ${\displaystyle }$ lim_{N ightarrow infty}{ frac{1}{N} # left{ 1 leq m eq n leq N: |x_m - x_n|_{infty} leq frac{s}{N} ight}} = (2s)^d.${\displaystyle }$ are also uniformly distributed. We prove the same result for the extension by the Euclidean norm: if a sequence $(x_n)$ in $mathbb{T}^d$ satisfies, for all $s>0$, ${\displaystyle }$ lim_{N ightarrow infty}{ frac{1}{N} # left{ 1 leq m

eq n leq N: |x_m - x_n|_{2} leq frac{s}{N} ight}} = omega_d s^d${\displaystyle }$ where $omeg{a}_d$ is the volume of the unit ball, then $(x_n)$ is uniformly distributed. Our approach shows that Poissonian Pair Correlation implies an exponential sum estimate that resembles and implies the Weyl criterion.

Review text

The author extends a recent result of \textit{A. Hinrichs} et al. [Monatsh. Math. 190, No. 2, 333--352 (2019; Zbl 1443.11149)] and shows (Theorem 1) that if a sequence \((x_n)\) in the \(d\)-dimensional torus, \(\mathbb{T}^d\), satisfies for all \(s>0\), \[ \lim_{N\rightarrow \infty} \frac{1}{N} \# \left \{ 1 \leq m \neq n \leq N : \| x_m - x_n \|_2 \leq \frac{s}{N^{1/d}} \right \} = \omega_d s^d, \] in which \(\omega_d\) is the volume of the unit ball, then \((x_n)\) is uniformly distributed. The main ingredient of the proof is a particular exponential sum estimate that links the property of having Poissonian pair correlations via the Weyl criterion to the property of being uniformly distributed. Interestingly, this estimate highlights very well that having Poissonian Pair Correlations is a much stronger condition for a sequence than being uniformly distributed. The author uses his technique to rederive (see [\textit{C. Aistleitner} et al., J. Number Theory 182, 206--220 (2018; Zbl 1415.11106)] and [\textit{S. Grepstad} and \textit{G. Larcher}, Arch. Math. 109, No. 2, 143--149 (2017; Zbl 1387.11064)]) the related result for \(d=1\) as well (Theorem 2).
