The next meeting of the National Seminar on Probability and Statistics will be held on June 21, 2017 (Wednesday), at 2 p.m. in Room 403 of IMI - BAS.

Prof. Kevin Ford (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA), will deliver a lecture on:

Probabilistic aspects of number theory

Everybody is invited.

Abstract:  We describe how probabilistic tools and reasoning are used to study problems about gaps between prime numbers in various sequences, for example the sequence of all primes, and the sequence of prime values of a polynomial.  This is joint work with Ben Green, Sergei Konyagin, James Maynard, Carl Pomerance and Terence Tao.
