the projection distribution induced by integral points on the sphere
Let $A=\{\mathbf{v} \in \mathbb{Z}^{n}: \|\mathbf{v}\|^2= m \}$ and a fixed $\mathbf{y}\in \mathbb{R}^n$, the norm here refers to the Euclidean norm.
Suppose $\mathbf{x}$ is a uniform distribution on ...

Theoretical invariant distribution of discrete dynamical systems, including the Riemann Zeta map
Update on 3/10/2021: I added Example 5 in the Appendix. This generic example encompasses the Riemann Zeta dynamical system. A simple version of this post, targeted to engineers, machine learning ...

Sequences similar to $\{n\alpha\}$ that are both equidistributed and truly random-like
See update at the bottom.
Here the brackets represent the fractional part, and $\alpha \in [0, 1]$ is a positive irrational number. It is well known that the sequences $\{n\alpha\}$, $\{n^2\alpha\}$ ...

Irrational rotation - recurrence times
I consider the irrational rotation
$T_\alpha(x) = x + \alpha \text{ mod } 1$ for given irrational $\alpha \in [0,1]$. For a given open interval $A \subset [0,1]$ with length $|A|>0$, I consider the ...

A weighted ergodic average
According to my simulations, it looks like the number of times that the $N$ first iterates $u_0$, $\ldots$, $u_{N-1}$ of the sequence $(u_n)$ defined here meets an interval $I$ is close to $N|I|$ ...

Random suborbits of a rotation
Let $u_n = x + n\alpha \pmod 1$ with $\alpha$ irrational. We know that $(u_n)_{n \geq 0}$ is dense in $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ (equivalently $(u_n)_{n \geq 0}$ visits every open interval infinitely ...

A question related to metric Diophantine approximation
In metric Diophantine approximation you are often interested in finding conditions on $(\phi(q))_{q \geq 1}$ which guarantee that
$$
\left| \alpha - \frac{p}{q} \right| < \frac{\phi(q)}{q}
$$
has ...

What is the mean-value of a particular exponential sum related to the non-trivial zeros of Riemann's zeta function?
This question arose from an earlier one and the MO user's useful answers there: What are the values of the derivative of Riemann's zeta function at the known non-trivial zeros? (which is not a ...
