“Vinogradov-type estimates”

In this talk, we will begin with the classical Waring problem to outline the circle method, which includes a simple application of Vinogradov’s mean value theorem for minor arc esimates. We will also introduce more general Vinogradov-type estimates and their analogues in function fields.

Refreshments will be served in MC 5046 at 3:30 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend.
