Throughout this article {·} denotes the fractional part of a real number. It is well known that (xn)n∈N has Poissonian pair correlations for almost all normal numbers α (in the sense of Lebesgue), but we will show that it does not have this property for all normal numbers α, as it fails to be Poissonian for the Champernowne constant.}, organization = {The first author is supported by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), Project P27351-N26.
