Prime numbers: Techniques, results and questions
Friday 20 January, 4 pm, Lecture Theatre 1
The basic question in prime number theory is to try to understand the number of primes in some interesting set of integers. Unfortunately many of the most basic and natural examples are famous open problems which are over 100 years old!
We aim to give an accessible survey of (a selection of) the main results and techniques in prime number theory. In particular we highlight progress on some of these famous problems, as well as a selection of our favourite problems for future progress.
Followed by a reception in the Common Room to celebrate our 2022 Fields medallist.
