Finite Fourier Analysis and Dirichlet’s Theorem
نویسنده
چکیده
This is an expository paper on finite Fourier analysis and basic number theory. The focus of the paper is finite Abelian groups and the properties of these groups which are used in the proof of the Dirichlet prime number theorem. We then introduce the specific elements and basic structure of the proof of Dirichlet’s theorem.

Dirichlet’s Theorem about Primes in Arithmetic Progressions
Dirichlet’s theorem states that if q and l are two relatively prime positive integers, there are infinitely many primes of the form l+kq. Dirichlet’s theorem is a generalized statement about prime numbers and the theory of Fourier series on the finite abelian group (Z/qZ)∗ plays an important role in the solution.
متن کاملEuclidean Proofs of Dirichlet’s Theorem
Euclid’s proof of the infinitude of the primes is a paragon of simplicity: given a finite list of primes, multiply them together and add one. The resulting number, say N , is not divisible by any prime on the list, so any prime factor of N is a new prime. Some special cases of Dirichlet’s theorem admit a simple proof following Euclid’s model, such as the case of 1 mod 4 or 5 mod 6. (We mean by ...
متن کاملToward a Geometric Analogue of Dirichlet’s Unit Theorem
In this article, we propose a geometric analogue of Dirichlet’s unit theorem on arithmetic varieties [18], that is, if X is a normal projective variety over a finite field and D is a pseudo-effective Q-Cartier divisor on X, does it follow that D is Q-effective? We also give affirmative answers on an abelian variety and a projective bundle over a curve.
متن کاملDirichlet’s Theorem on Primes in Arithmetic Progressions
Let us be honest that the proof of Dirichlet’s theorem is of a difficulty beyond that of anything else we have attempted in this course. On the algebraic side, it requires the theory of characters on the finite abelian groups U(N) = (Z/NZ)×. From the perspective of the 21st century mathematics undergraduate with a background in abstract algebra, these are not particularly deep waters. More seri...
متن کاملAnalytic Number Theory and Dirichlet’s Theorem
In this paper, we prove Dirichlet’s theorem that, given any pair h, k with (h, k) = 1, there are infinitely many prime numbers congruent to h (mod k). Although this theorem lies strictly within the realm of number theory, its proof employs a range of tools from other branches of mathematics, most notably characters from group theory and holomorphic functions from complex analysis.
