Title / titre: Sieve Theory and Applications
Abstract / résumé: In 1934, Paul Turan gave an elementary proof of the famous theorem of
Hardy and Ramanujan. From this proof, a method was developed to assist in the analysis of the normal order of sequences. A
consequence of this method is the Turan Sieve. In this talk, I will introduce you to elementary sieve theory, and two
different developments of the Turan Sieve, and demonstrate some examples of its usefulness, as well as
some its disadvantages.
Prerequisites / choses nécessaires: Familiarity with elementary analytic number theory will be useful, but is
not required.
