Analytic Number Theory II

Greg Martin (University of British Columbia)

Jan 1, 2023 — Apr 30, 2023

About the course

This course is a second graduate course in number theory, designed to follow Analytic Number Theory I taught by Prof. Habiba Kadiri (University of Lethbridge) in Fall 2022. We will learn about Dirichlet characters and sums involving them, Dirichlet L-functions and their zeros, and the prime number theorem in arithmetic progressions. With the explicit formula for the error term in this theorem, we will continue into limiting distributions of error terms and comparative prime number theory (“prime number races”). This course also precedes the summer school “Inclusive Paths in Explicit Number Theory” in Summer 2023 and is designed to give students the ideal preparation for that summer school program. All three of these events are part of the current PIMS CRG “L-functions in Analytic Number Theory” (2022-2025).
