  1. ( , Discrete analysis)
    Gowers, W. T. (Ed.)
    We prove a number of results, new and old, about the cycle type of a random permutation on S_n. Underlying our analysis is the idea that the number of cycles of size k is roughly Poisson distributed with parameter 1/k. In particular, we establish strong results about the distribution of the number of cycles whose lengths lie in a fixed but arbitrary set I. Our techniques are motivated by the theory of sieves in number theory.

  2. ( , Rivista di matematica della Università di Parma)
    Alessandro Zaccagnini (Ed.)
    We show that the existence of arithmetic progressions with few primes, with a quantitative bound on ''few'', implies the existence of larger gaps between primes less than x than is currently known unconditionally. In particular, we derive this conclusion if there are certain types of exceptional zeros of Dirichlet L-functions.
