We consider a system of “forms” defined for ẕ = (zij) on a subset of bywhere d = d1 + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ + dl and for each pair of integers (i,j) with 1 ≤ i ≤ l, 1 ≤ j ≤ di we denote by a strictly increasing sequence of natural numbers. Let = {z ∈ : |z| < 1} and let where for each pair (i, j) we have Xij = . We study the distribution of the sequence on the l-polydisc defined by the coordinatewise polar fractional parts of the sequence Xk(ẕ) = (L1(ẕ)(k),. . ., Ll(ẕ)(k)) for typical ẕ in More precisely for arcs I1, . . ., I2l in , let B = I1 × ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ × I2l be a box in and for each N ≥ 1 define a pair correlation function byand a discrepancy by ΔN = {VN(B) − N(N−1)leb(B)}, where the supremum is over all boxes in . We show, subject to a non-resonance condition on , that given ε > 0 we have ΔN = o(N(log log N)1+ε) for almost every . Similar results on extremal discrepancy are also proved. Our results complement those of I. Berkes, W. Philipp, M. Pollicott, Z. Rudnick, P. Sarnak, R Tichy and the author in the real setting.
