401-2000-00L | Scientific Works in Mathematics Target audience: Third year Bachelor students; Master students who cannot document to have received an adequate training in working scientifically. | 0 credits | Ö. Imamoglu, E. Kowalski | ||
Abstract | Introduction to scientific writing for students with focus on publication standards and ethical issues, especially in the case of citations (references to works of others.) | ||||
Objective | Learn the basic standards of scientific works in mathematics. | ||||
Content | - Types of mathematical works - Publication standards in pure and applied mathematics - Data handling - Ethical issues - Citation guidelines | ||||

401-3109-65L | Probabilistic Number Theory Does not take place this semester. | 8 credits | 4G | E. Kowalski | |
Abstract | The course presents some results of probabilistic number theory in a unified manner, including distribution properties of the number of prime divisors of integers, probabilistic properties of the zeta function and statistical distribution of exponential sums. | ||||
Objective | The goal of the course is to present some results of probabilistic number theory in a unified manner. | ||||
Content | The main concepts will be presented in parallel with the proof of a few main theorems: (1) the Erdős-Wintner and Erdős-Kac theorems concerning the distribution of values of arithmetic functions; (2) the distribution of values of the Riemann zeta function, including Selberg's central limit theorem for the Riemann zeta function on the critical line; (3) the Chebychev bias for primes in arithmetic progressions; (4) functional limit theorems for the paths of partial sums of families of exponential sums. | ||||
Lecture notes | The lecture notes for the class are available at https://www.math.ethz.ch/~kowalski/probabilistic-number-theory.pdf | ||||
Prerequisites / Notice | Prerequisites: Complex analysis, measure and integral; some probability theory is useful but the main concepts needed will be recalled. Some knowledge of number theory is useful but the main results will be summarized. | ||||
