7 月他在母校北京大学的北京国际数学研究中心 (BICMR) 有一个系列的学术报告: Distribution of Prime Numbers and the Riemann Zeta Function I, II, III. 这个报告分三场, 原定时间是 July 8, 10, 15,  2014 16:00-17:00, 地点是镜春园 78 号院的 77201 室.

BICMR 官网上这个报告的 Abstract 是这么写的:

The distribution of prime numbers is one of the most important subjects in number theory.

There are many interesting problems in this field. It may not be difficult to understand the problems themselves, but the solutions are extremely difficult.

In this series of talks we will describe the application of certain analytic tools to the distribution of prime numbers. In particular, the role played by the Riemann zeta function will be discussed. We will also describe some early and current researches on the Riemann Hypothesis.

These talks are open to everyone in the major of mathematics, including undergraduate students.

8 日下午 4 点, 田刚现身. 因为人比较多, 改为在镜春园82号甲乙丙楼的中心报告厅进行. 主持人刘若川是 1999 年的 IMO 金牌(他本来也是 1998 年中国国家队的队员).

$\zeta(2k)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac1{n^{2k}}=(-1)^{k+1}\frac{(2\pi)^{2k}B_{2k}}{2(2k)!}$

10 日下午 4 点的第二场, 依旧在镜春园82号甲乙丙楼的中心报告厅. 不过, 15 日的一场会在镜春园 78 号院的 77201 室, 16:30 开始.

15 日下午 4:30 的最后一场, 要深入一点. 田刚坐在教室最后一排, 刘若川, 许晨阳坐在教室左边的走廊.张大师谈到有 Goldston, Pintz and Yildirim 的工作, 说他自己最大的贡献是把 $$c$$ 改进为 $$\dfrac14+\dfrac1{1168}$$.

Springer 开始出版一个新的数学系列 “Mathematical Lectures from Peking University”. 这套书是北京国际数学研究中心(Beijing International Center for Mathematical Research, 简称 BICMR)的数学讲义.

Mathematical Lectures from Peking University includes monographs, lecture notes, and proceedings based on research pursued and events held at Beijing International Center for Mathematical Research (BICMR). BICMR is a mathematical research institute sponsored by the national government of China. The center was created in 2005 by national government decree. Its goal is to build a world-class mathematical center for research and training young talents; to foster a new generation of leading world-class mathematicians in China; to support the application of mathematics in sciences and practical fields; to promote research and improve the level of mathematics education at Peking University, as well as all over China.
