Poissonian correlation conjecture for fractional parts of αnθ\alpha n^\theta

Let m2m\ge 2, let α>0\alpha>0, and let 0<θ<1/m0<\theta<1/m. Consider the sequence of fractional parts (αnθmod1)n>0(\alpha n^\theta\bmod 1)_{n>0}. Poissonian correlation conjecture. For every such mm, α\alpha, and θ\theta, this sequence has Poissonian mm-point correlation. The conjecture would extend the paper's theorem to the natural boundary θ<1/m\theta<1/m; the stated theorem only reaches a smaller range because of the available exponential-sum and oscillatory-integral estimates, and proving the full range would require significant new ideas.
