Let $p$ be an odd prime number, $K$ a $p$-adic field of degree $r$ over $\mathbf{Q}_p$, $O$ the ring of integers in $K$, $B = \{\beta_1,\dots, \beta_r\}$ an integral basis of $K$ over $\mathbf{Q}_p$, $u$ a unit in $O$ and consider sets of the form $\mathcal{N}=\{n_1\beta_1+\cdots+n_r\beta_r: 1\leq n_j\leq N_j, 1\leq j\leq r\}$. We show under certain growth conditions that the pair correlation of $\{uz^2:z\in\mathcal{N}\}$ becomes Poissonian.

We prove that two, apparently different, class-group valued Galois module structure invariants associated to the algebraic $K$-groups of rings of algebraic integers coincide. This comparison result is particularly important in making explicit calculations.
