Irregularities in the Distribution of Prime Numbers [electronic resource] : From the Era of Helmut Maier's Matrix Method and Beyond /
Pintz, János.editor.
Rassias, Michael Th.editor.
This volume presents research and expository papers highlighting the vibrant and fascinating study of irregularities in the distribution of primes. Written by an international group of experts, contributions present a self-contained yet unified exploration of a rapidly progressing area. Emphasis is given to the research inspired by Maier’s matrix method, which established a newfound understanding of the distribution of primes. Additionally, the book provides an historical overview of a large body of research in analytic number theory and approximation theory. The papers published within are intended as reference tools for graduate students and researchers in mathematics.
