Levels of Distribution and the Affine Sieve

Alex Kontorovich (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

Similarity:

We discuss the notion of a “Level of Distribution” in two settings. The first deals with primes in progressions, and the role this plays in Yitang Zhang’s theorem on bounded gaps between primes. The second concerns the Affine Sieve and its applications.

A higher rank Selberg sieve and applications

Akshaa Vatwani (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We develop an axiomatic formulation of the higher rank version of the classical Selberg sieve. This allows us to derive a simplified proof of the Zhang and Maynard-Tao result on bounded gaps between primes. We also apply the sieve to other subsequences of the primes and obtain bounded gaps in various settings.

Gaps between primes in Beatty sequences

Roger C. Baker, Liangyi Zhao (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We study the gaps between primes in Beatty sequences following the methods in the recent breakthrough by Maynard (2015).
