Levels of Distribution and the Affine Sieve

Alex Kontorovich (2014)

Annales de la faculté des sciences de Toulouse Mathématiques

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.

Modifications of the Eratosthenes sieve

Colloquium Mathematicae

We discuss some cancellation algorithms such that the first non-cancelled number is a prime number p or a number of some specific type. We investigate which numbers in the interval (p,2p) are non-cancelled.
