Course schedule
This course will focus on some striking examples whereprobability theory offers a convenient language as well as efficienttools to prove number theoretic statements that would otherwise behard to comprehend and rigorously establish. The topics thatwe will address include: -The Theorem of Erdös-Kac on the distribution of the number ofprime factors of a random integer, -Selberg’s Theorem on the distribution of the imaginary parts ofthe criticalzeros of the Riemann Zeta function, -Inequities in the distribution of primes beyond the Prime NumberTheorem for arithmetic progressions (the so-called « Chebyshevbias »),as well as recent generalizations of that question. -Theorem for arithmetic progressions (the so-called« Chebyshevbias »), as well as recent generalizations of thatquestion.
