Abstract: We consider the ensemble of curves $gamm{a}_{alpha,N}:alphain(0,1],NinN$ obtained by linearly interpolating the values of the normalized theta sum $N^{-1/2}su{m}_{n=0}^{N^{\prime }-1}exp(pii{n}^{2}alpha)$, $0leq{N}^{\prime }<N$. We prove the existence of limiting finite-dimensional distributions for such curves as $Noinfty$, with respect to an absolutely continuous probability measure $m{u}_R$ on $(0,1]$. Our Main Theorem generalizes a result by Marklof and Jurkat and van Horne. Our proof relies on the analysis of the geometric structure of such curves, which exhibit spiral-like patterns (curlicues) at different scales. We exploit a renormalization procedure constructed by means of the continued fraction expansion of $alpha$ with even partial quotients and a renewal-type limit theorem for the denominators of such continued fraction expansions.
