Analytic number theory and higher order Fourier analysis

Objective

Many of the central problems in analytic number theory concern the existence of patterns in the primes or the randomness properties of the Möbius function. The aim of this proposal is to make progress on such questions, using in particular methods from higher order Fourier analysis.

Two fundamental conjectures about randomness of the Möbius function are the Chowla and Sarnak conjectures. This proposal aims to make progress on these conjectures and their variants, in particular by studying a conjecture on higher order uniformity of the Möbius function that is closely tied to these problems.

Regarding patterns in the primes, the approach in this proposal is to establish new Gowers norm estimates for the primes and other multiplicatively defined sequences. Both quantitative Gowers norm bounds and short interval Gowers norms will be studied. These have potential for various applications, such as a version of the prime tuples conjecture with a short average and convergence results for multiple ergodic averages along the primes.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
