Prime number models and the interval sieve

Kevin Ford
(UIUC)
Abstract

We'll describe connections between probabilistic models for primes,
the Hardy-Littlewood k-tuples conjectures, the distribution of primes in
very short intervals, the interval sieve, and hypothetical Landau-Siegel
zeros of Dirichlet L-functions.  We will emphasize the role and limitations
of probabilistic ideas.
