Fix \alpha,\theta >0 and consider the sequence (\alpha n^{\theta}\; \mathrm{mod}\; 1)_{n\ge 1} . Since the seminal work of Rudnick–Sarnak (1998) and due to the Berry–Tabor conjecture in quantum chaos, the fine-scale properties of these dilated monomial sequences have been intensively studied. In this paper, we show that for \theta <14/41 and \alpha>0 , the pair correlation function is Poissonian. While (for a given \theta \neq 1 ) this strong pseudo-randomness property has been proven for almost all values of \alpha , there are next-to-no instances where this has been proven for explicit \alpha . Our result holds for all \alpha>0 and relies solely on classical Fourier analytic techniques. This addresses (in the sharpest possible way) a problem posed by Aistleitner–El-Baz–Munsch (2021).
