Glyn Harman

Last updated

Glyn Harman (born 2 November 1956) is a British mathematician working in analytic number theory. [1] One of his major interests is prime number theory. He is best known for results on gaps between primes and the greatest prime factor of p + a, as well as his lower bound for the number of Carmichael numbers up to X. His monograph Prime-detecting Sieves (2007) was published by Princeton University Press. He has also written a book Metric Number Theory (1998). As well, he has contributed to the field of Diophantine approximation. [2] Harman also proved that there are infinitely many primes (additive primes) whose sum of digits is prime. (the sequence A046704 in the OEIS). [3]

Harman retired at the end of 2013 from being a professor at Royal Holloway, University of London. [1] Previously he was a professor at Cardiff University.

Harman is married, and has three sons, [1] and used to live in Wokingham, Berkshire before moving to Harrow, Middlesex/Greater London and then Uxbridge.

Kaisa Sofia Matomäki is a Finnish mathematician specializing in number theory. Since September 2015, she has been working as an Academic Research Fellow in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Turku, Turku, Finland. Her research includes results on the distribution of multiplicative functions over short intervals of numbers; for instance, she showed that the values of the Möbius function are evenly divided between +1 and −1 over short intervals. These results, in turn, were among the tools used by Terence Tao to prove the Erdős discrepancy problem.
