Questions tagged [equidistribution]

I was wondering about the distribution of $\sqrt{p}$ mod $1$ this morning, as one does while brushing one's teeth. I remembered the paper of Elkies and McMullen (Duke Math. J. 123 (2004), no. 1, 95–...

It is well known that as the negative discriminant $-D$ goes to infinity, the number of quadratic forms of discriminant $-D$ belonging to the principal genus also goes to infinity. Can we say ...

Let $\sigma_0(n)$ be the divisor counting function: $$\sigma_0(n) = \sum_{d \vert n} 1.$$ I ran some numerical experiments that showed when $p$ is prime, the function $\sigma_0(n)$ is equidistributed ...

Let $$(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} = (1,2,3,4,6,8,9,12,16,18,\cdots)$$ be a sequence that is a listing of the set $$\{2^n3^m \mid m,n \in \mathbb{N}\}$$ We need to find an irrational number $\alpha$ such ...

We say that a sequence $(x_n)_{n=1}^\infty \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ is "uniformly distributed in $[a,b]$", with $a < b$, if $(x_n)_{n=1}^\infty \cap [a,b] \neq \varnothing$ and $$\lim_{N \to \infty} \...

I have noticed in the following graph that the euclidean distance between points $k \in\mathbb{Z}^2\cap C_7^1$ ($C_7^1:={}$Circle with radius 7 and shell with thickness 1) and the nearest point on the ...
