“…The answer is yes, even under weaker hypotheses than (1.2), for sequences in the unit interval [1,8,18]. The same has been established for point sequences on higher-dimensional tori [10,19]. In the present paper we develop a statistical argument that permits a generalisation of these findings to bounded domains in R d (Section 2) as well as compact Riemannian manifolds (Section 3; the special case of flat tori is discussed in the appendix).…”
This study is motivated by a series of recent papers that show that, if a given deterministic sequence in the unit interval has a Poisson pair correlation function, then the sequence is uniformly distributed. Analogous results have been proved for point sequences on higher-dimensional tori. The purpose of this paper is to describe a simple statistical argument that explains this observation and furthermore permits a generalisation to bounded Euclidean domains as well as compact Riemannian manifolds.

Let (xn) ∞ n=1 be a sequence on the torus T (normalized to length 1). A sequence (xn) is said to have Poissonian pair correlation if, for all s > 0, lim N→∞ 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 28E99, 42A16 (primary), 11L07, 42A82 (secondary).
“…Of course it makes sense to generalize the concept of PPC to the multidimensional setting. One way to generalize the one-dimensional concept to a multi-dimensioanl setting was defined and discussed in [15] (for a more general analysis of a multi-dimensional PPC concept, we refer to the recent work [21]). Here, we present the definition of [15].…”
We give a survey on the concept of Poissonian pair correlation (PPC) of sequences in the unit interval, on existing and recent results and we state a list of open problems. Moreover, we present and discuss a quite recent multi-dimensional version of PPC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
