Abstracts of Seminar Circle method for Diophantine equations
We are organizing a seminar that aims to offer an introduction to the circle method. Initially developed by Hardy, Littlewood, and Ramanujan, the circle method has been successfully applied to many problems in number theory, including Waring’s problem, Goldbach’s weak conjecture, and estimating the number of partitions. We will follow Davenport's lecture notes* that explains the Hardy-Littlewood circle method with a minimum of fuss by looking at its applications to Waring's problem.
