Abstract: Let $mgeq3$, we prove that $(alpha{n}^{h}etamod1{)}_{n>0}$ has Poissonian $m$-point correlation for all $alpha>0$, provided $heta<het{a}_m$, where $het{a}_m$ is an explicit bound which goes to $0$ as $m$ increases. This work builds on the method developed in Lutsko-Sourmelidis-Technau (2021), and introduces a new combinatorial argument for higher correlation levels, and new Fourier analytic techniques. A key point is to introduce an `extra' frequency variable to de-correlate the sequence variables and to eventually exploit a repulsion principle for oscillatory integrals. Presently, this is the only positive result showing that the $m$-point correlation is Poissonian for such sequences.
