Larcher–Stockinger conjecture on non-Poissonian pair correlations

Let (an)nN(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} be an integer sequence. For a real number α\alpha, consider the sequence (anα)nNmod1(a_n\alpha)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \mod 1 and its pair correlations.

Larcher–Stockinger conjecture. If for almost all α\alpha the pair correlations of (anα)nNmod1(a_n\alpha)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \mod 1 are not Poissonian, then the pair correlations of this sequence are not Poissonian for any α\alpha.

The conjecture concerns whether failure of Poissonian pair correlations for almost every rotation parameter must hold for every parameter. It is refuted in the paper: the sequence (an(f))nN(a_n^{(f)})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}, with ff as in the cited theorem, provides a counterexample.
