Polynomials that capture primes

Abstract

This is a series of lectures. Our objective is to study the papers "The polynomial X2+Y4 captures its primes" by John Friedlander & Henryk Iwaniec and "Primes represented by X3+2Y3" by Roger Heath-Brown. Both papers make use of many advanced techniques in analytic number theory and they represent monumental breakthroughs in the quest for counting primes in sparse sequences.
