Linear equations in primes and dynamics of nilmanifolds

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

In this paper we survey some of the ideas behind the recent developments in additive number theory, combinatorics and ergodic theory leading to the proof of Hardy-Littlewood type estimates for the number of prime solutions to systems of linear equations of finite complexity.
