Review text

The present paper deals with investigations in the following topics: -- Pair correlations without weights or scaling. -- Pair correlations without weights and with scaling. -- Pair correlations with Euler weights without scaling. -- Pair correlations with Euler weights and linear scaling. -- Pair correlations of common perpendiculars in a certain modular curve. -- A Mirsky formula with congruences. One can note authors' abstract: ``We study the statistics of pairs of logarithms of positive integers at various scalings, either with trivial weights or with weights given by the Euler function, proving the existence of pair correlation functions. We prove that at the linear scaling, which is not the usual scaling by the inverse of the average gap, the pair correlations exhibit a level repulsion similar to radial distribution functions of fluids. We prove total loss of mass phenomena at superlinear scalings, and constant nonzero asymptotic behavior at sublinear scalings. The case of Euler weights has applications to the pair correlation of the lengths of common perpendicular geodesic arcs from the maximal Margulis cusp neighborhood to itself in the modular curve \(\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash \mathbb{H}^2_{\mathbb{R}}\). Proofs are given with figures, explanations of used techniques, and descriptions of connections with known results. Auxiliary notions are recalled with explanations.
