Workshop on Analytic Number Theory
Simonyi Hall Seminar Room
The program will have an emphasis on analytic aspects, and particular topics that will be covered include the distribution of prime numbers, sieves, L functions, special sequences as well as additive and combinatorial methods, exponential sums, spectral analysis and modular forms. The workshop will highlight recent developments connected with the program.
