STAGE Seminar

Thu Apr 25, 2024 4:00–5:30 PM

Location

Building 2, 131

Description

Speaker: Daniel Larsen (MIT)Title: The large sieveAbstract:In this talk, we will prove a version of the large sieve inequality, a result from analytic number theory that will eventually be used to give bounds on thin sets. Along the way, we will prove the Davenport-Halberstam theorem and generally try to understand how the support of a function's Fourier transform influences the function's behavior.Reference: Chapter 12 of Serre, Lectures on the Mordell-Weil theorem.
