Harish-Chandra Research Institute Introduction to the circle method of Hardy, Ramanujan and Littlewood
نویسنده
چکیده
In these lectures we give an overview of the circle method introduced by Hardy and Ramanujan at the beginning of the twentieth century, and developed by Hardy, Littlewood and Vinogradov, among others. We also try to explain the main difficulties in proving Goldbach’s conjecture and we give a sketch of the proof of Vinogradov’s three-prime Theorem.

Additive Problems with Prime Variables the Circle Method of Hardy, Ramanujan and Littlewood
In these lectures we give an overview of the circle method introduced by Hardy and Ramanujan at the beginning of the twentieth century, and developed by Hardy, Littlewood and Vinogradov, among others. We also try and explain the main difficulties in proving Goldbach’s conjecture and we give a sketch of the proof of Vinogradov’s three-prime Theorem. 1. ADDITIVE PROBLEMS In the last few centuries...
متن کاملHardy-Littlewood varieties and semisimple groups
We are interested in counting integer and rational points in affine algebraic varieties, also under congruence conditions. We introduce the notions of a strongly Hardy-Littlewood variety and a relatively Hardy-Littlewood variety, in terms of counting rational points satisfying congruence conditions. The definition of a strongly Hardy-Littlewood variety is given in such a way that varieties for ...
متن کاملThe 1729 K3 surface
1.1 1729 and Ramanujan Srinivasa Ramanujan is said to have possessed an uncanny memory for idiosyncratic properties of numbers. J. E. Littlewood famously remarked that “everynumber is a personal friend of Ramanujan.” This opinion is supported by the famous story of 1729, the so-called “Hardy–Ramanujan” number after the famous anecdote of G. H. Hardy concerning a visit to the hospital to see his...
متن کاملA Derivation of the Hardy-ramanujan Formula from an Arithmetic Formula
We re-prove the Hardy-Ramanujan asymptotic formula for the partition function without using the circle method. We derive our result from recent work of Bruinier and Ono on harmonic weak Maass forms.
متن کاملThe Partition Function Revisited
In 1918, Hardy and Ramanujan wrote their landmark paper deriving the asymptotic formula for the partition function. The paper however was fundamental for another reason, namely for introducing the circle method in questions of additive number theory. Though this method is powerful, it is often difficult and technically complicated to employ. In 2011, Bruinier and Ono discovered a new algebraic ...
