Universal non-Poissonian pair correlation conjecture for sequences of maximal additive energy

About 9 years old · traced to

Let (an)n≥1\left(a_n\right)_{n\geq 1} be a sequence of distinct integers, and let ANA_N denote its first NN elements. The additive energy of a finite set AA of reals is

E(A)=∑a+b=c+d1,E\left(A\right)=\sum_{a+b=c+d}1,

where the sum runs over all quadruples in A4A^4. The universal non-Poissonian pair correlation conjecture. If

E(AN)=Ω(N3),E\left(A_N\right)=\Omega\left(N^3\right),

then for every α\alpha the pair correlation of ({anα})n≥1\left(\left\{a_n\alpha\right\}\right)_{n\geq 1} is not Poissonian.

Bourgain proved non-Poissonian pair correlation for a positive-measure set of α\alpha, and later work showed that the exceptional set has full measure. The conjecture strengthens this to every α\alpha.
