Description:
------------

This workshop, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, will be devoted to 
the recent work of Goldston, Pintz, and Yildirim on gaps between
primes and primes in tuples.  The work depends on a surprisingly
effective variation of the Selberg sieve, and it has connections
and applications to other problems in sieve methods.  Further
applications and relationships to other areas of number theory 
will be explored. 

The workshop is organized by
Dan Goldston, Sid Graham, and Andrew Granville.

undergraduate institutions to apply.

The AIM Research Conference Center (ARCC) hosts focused
workshops in all areas of the mathematical sciences. ARCC
focused workshops are distinguished by their emphasis on
a specific mathematical goal, such as making progress on a
significant unsolved problem, understanding the proof of an
important new result, or investigating the convergence between
two distinct areas of mathematics.
