We will talk about recent work showing there are infinitely many primes with no 7 in their decimal expansion. (And similarly with 7 replac ed by any other digit.) This shows the existence of primes in a 'thin' set of numbers (sets which contain at most X^{1-c} elements less than X) whic h is typically very difficult.\n \n The proof relies on a fun mixture of too ls including Fourier analysis\, Markov chains\, Diophantine approximation\ , combinatorial geometry as well as tools from analytic number theory.\n DTSTART:20171208T210000Z DTEND:20171208T220000Z LOCATION:Room PK-5115 \, CA\, Pavillon President-Kennedy SUMMARY:James Maynard\, University of Oxford URL:/mathstat/channels/event/james-maynard-university- oxford-283166 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
