Abstract: Recently, generalizations of the classical Three Gap Theorem to higher dimensions attracted a lot of attention. In particular, upper bounds for the number of nearest neighbor distances have been established for the Euclidean and the maximum metric. It was proved that a generic multi-dimensional Kronecker attains the maximal possible number of different gap lengths for every sub-exponential subsequence. We mirror this result in dimension $dinleft2,3ight$ by constructing Kronecker sequences which have a surprisingly low number of different nearest neighbor distances for infinitely $NinmathbbN$. Our proof relies on simple arguments from the theory of continued fractions.
