Answering a question of Browkin, we provide a new unconditional proof that the Dedekind zeta function of a number field $L$ has infinitely many nontrivial zeros of multiplicity at least 2 if $L$ has a subfield $K$ for which $L/K$ is a nonabelian Galois extension. We also extend this to zeros of order 3 when $\operatorname{Gal}(L/K)$ has an irreducible representation of degree at least 3, as predicted by the Artin holomorphy conjecture.
We determine the pair correlations of countable sets $T \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ satisfying natural equidistribution conditions. The pair correlations are computed as the volume of a certain region in $\mathbb{R}^{2n}$, which can be expressed in terms of the incomplete Beta function. For $n=2$ and $n=3$ we give closed form expressions, and we obtain an expression in the $n \rightarrow \infty$ limit. We also verify that sets of lattice points and primitive lattice points satisfy the required distribution criteria.
