The course will give an introduction to analytic number theroy.
The lecture will be in Italian unless requested otherwise by the students.
The aim of the course is to introduce basic elementary and analytical concepts, and the relative techniques, for the study of arithmetic problems, in particular concerning prime numbers. The course provides analytical prerequisites necessary to address more advanced issues in Number Theory, Arithmetic Geometry and related topics.
It is useful to have some basic knowledge of complex analysis.
Traditional
Arithmetical functions: arithmetical and algebraic aspects, asymptotic behavior. Elementary methods for the distribution of primes: Euler, Legendre and Chebyshev. Elements of cryptography. Complements of Analysis: Dirichlet series, Mellin transform and Poisson formula. Riemann zeta function: general properties and distribution of zeros. Prime Number Theorem: explicit formulae and PNT with remainder. Dirichlet L-functions: Dirichlet characters, general properties of L-functions and distribution of zeros. Dirichlet's theorem.
