Title: Old and new results on the large sieve

By: Prof. Stephan Baier, 
Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Research and Education Institute, Belur, Howrah

Day and Date:

 Friday, 14th November 2025

Time: 

2:30 PM to 3:30 PM IST

Abstract: 

The large sieve is an important tool in analytic number theory which has a variety of applications, such as results about the distribution of prime numbers in arithmetic progressions. Its classical form is based on an inequality comparing a discrete and continuous mean value of a trigonometrical polynomial. We discuss its significance for number theoretical questions and variants of the large sieve which are currently being investigated in active research

Venue: 

Audio Visual Hall, Bhaskaracharya Pratishthana, Pune.

All are cordially invited to attend the lecture.
