"Vinogradov's theorem in twin almost primes"
An old theorem of Hardy-Littlewood and Vinogradov says that all large odd integers can be written as a sum of three primes; this is the ternary version of the Goldbach conjecture. Recent breakthroughs by Zhang and by Maynard show that there are infinitely many primes with a close neighboring prime. In this talk, I will discuss a hybrid version of these two results, and the focus will be on the underlying ideas coming from both additive combinatorics and sieve theory.
This is joint work with Kaisa Matomaki.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Indigenous Initiatives Office.
