چکیده
We study the distances, called spacings, between pairs of neighboring energy levels for the quantum harmonic oscillator. Specifically, we consider all energy levels falling between E and E + 1, and study how the spacings between these levels change for various choices of E, particularly when E goes to infinity. Primarily, we study the case in which the spring constant is a badly approximable vector. We first give the proof by Boshernitzan-Dyson that the number of distinct spacings has a uniform bound independent ofE. Then, if the spring constant has components forming a basis of an algebraic number field, we show that, when normalized up to a unit, the spacings are from a finite set. Moreover, in the specific case that the field has one fundamental unit, the probability distribution of these spacings behaves quasiperiodically in logE. We conclude by studying the spacings in the case that the spring constant is not badly approximable, providing examples for which the number of distinct spacings is unbounded.

Dynamic Geodesic Nearest Neighbor Searching in a Simple Polygon
We present an efficient dynamic data structure that supports geodesic nearest neighbor queries for a set of point sites S in a static simple polygon P . Our data structure allows us to insert a new site in S, delete a site from S, and ask for the site in S closest to an arbitrary query point q ∈ P . All distances are measured using the geodesic distance, that is, the length of the shortest path...

We prove that the diffusion coefficient for the two dimensional asymmetric simple exclusion process diverges as (log t)2/3 to the leading order. The method applies to nearest and non-nearest neighbor asymmetric simple exclusion processes.
