Uniform distribution of residues along powers of degree-one ideals

Let LL be a number field and let αL\alpha\in L be irrational. Let a\mathfrak{a} be an unramified ideal of degree one that is prime to the denominator of the principal ideal (α)(\alpha). For each l1l\ge 1, write α(al)\alpha(\mathfrak{a}^l) for the chosen residue representative of α\alpha modulo al\mathfrak{a}^l, and let nn denote the norm of a\mathfrak{a}. Uniform-distribution conjecture. The sequence

{α(al)nl}l=1\left\{\frac{\alpha(\mathfrak{a}^l)}{n^l}\right\}_{l=1}^{\infty}

is uniformly distributed in [0,1][0,1]. This is presented as a reformulation of the preceding nn-adic normality conjecture via the equivalence between normality of an nn-adic expansion and uniform distribution of the associated residue sequence; its status is open in the source.
