Upcoming
Planned topics
The following topics are being prepared for the seminar series. Depth and length vary; most talks are designed for a mathematical audience but open to non-specialists.
The Tesfa Grid in one hour
Introduction to the two-phase construction, the algebraic theorems of Volume I, and the Tesfa Wave. Assumes only comfort with undergraduate number theory and basic probability.
The Tesfa-Zeta Conjecture: evidence and interpretation
The central empirical result of Volume II. Lomb-Scargle methodology, the matched-filter test, and the control experiments. Discussion of what the result does and does not establish.
Discrete geometry of the prime sequence
Methodological talk. Why the two-phase filling rule and not the standard row-major fill? The role of velocity asymmetry in exposing structure. Accessibility: intermediate.
Open problems of the programme
A working-session-style talk on the current open problems, with emphasis on which might be accessible to early-career researchers and students.
Host a seminar
Invitations to speak at departmental seminars, number theory groups, and online research gatherings are welcomed. Please get in touch with a proposed date range, audience description, and any scheduling constraints.
