Closing the Gap: the quest to understand prime numbers - Vicky Neale
Oxford Mathematics Public Lectures: Vicky Neale - Closing the Gap: the quest to understand prime numbers
Prime numbers have intrigued, inspired and infuriated mathematicians for millennia and yet mathematicians' difficulty with answering simple questions about them reveals their depth and subtlety.
Vicky Neale describes recent progress towards proving the famous Twin Primes Conjecture and explains the very different ways in which these breakthroughs have been made - a solo mathematician working in isolation, a young mathematician displaying creativity at the start of a career, a large collaboration that reveals much about how mathematicians go about their work.
Vicky Neale is Whitehead Lecturer at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford and Supernumerary Fellow at Balliol College. Her new book "Closing the Gap: the quest to understand prime numbers" has recently been published by Oxford University Press.

I love this presentation. I appreciate the fact she doesn't shy away from the proof but delivers it in a digestible way. Thank you very much for sharing!
I'm on nodding terms with the recent research, and I have to say that her explanation of admissible prime k-tuples was a very useful and intuitive way to explain it to a lay audience.
Great presentation. She knew her stuff. RIP
After I watched your lecture I received new insight into the order of prime numbers. For the first time, I can actually predict the outcome of my calculations in an ordered manner. Hopefully, I will surprise you soon.
RIP Vicky ❤ Only just found of your passing . So sad ❤
Very good lecture. I'm rather calculus guy, not number theory guy, but I enjoy this lecture very much.
I found another way to think about twin prime numbers, in terms of modular arithmetic. Does a pair of prime numbers, starting with 5 and 7, occur consecutively an infinite number of times, congruent to 5 mod 6 and 1 mod 6?
What about primes in arithmetic progressions of only 48 lenth with the same reason witch is a primoriel
