Metric Poissonian pair correlationa and additive energy

Abstract: In this article we prove that if the additive energy of a strictly increasing sequence $(a_n)$ of natural numbers is less than $N^3/(\log N)^C$ for some $C\geq13.155$, then $({a_n\alpha})$ has Poissonian pair correlation for almost all $\alpha\in\mathbb{R}.$ This provides a lower bound for the exponent $C$ in the additive energy bound established by Bloom and Walker[3].
