The next meeting of the Joint Seminar of Analysis, Geometry and Topology Department will be held on April 21, 2015 at 14:00 in Room 478 of IMI.

A talk on:

On Sums of Values of the Legendre Symbol

will be delivered by Prof. Doychin Tolev.

Everybody is invited.

Abstract. In this lecture a short presentation of some classical results (due to I. Vinogradov, A. Weil and others) concerning sums of values of the Legendre symbol will be given. We will consider more precisely certain special sums of such type (the Jacobstal sums) as well as their connection to the problem of representation of primes as sums of two squares.
