PIMS Lethbridge Number Theory and Combinatorics Seminar: Olivier Ramaré
- Date: 02/24/2014
- Time: 12:00
Lecturer(s):
Olivier Ramaré, CNRS/Université de Lille 1
Location:
University of Lethbridge
Topic:
Bilinear Forms on Prime Numbers
Description:
This talk will retrace the main steps of the modern theory of prime numbers and in particular how the combinatorial sieve combined with the Dirichlet series theory to give birth to the modern representation of the primes via a linear combination of terms, some of which being "linear", while the other ones are "bilinear". This will lead us to the recent developments of Green & Tao, Mauduit & Rivat, Tao, Helfgott, and Bourgain, Sarnak & Ziegler.
