Greg Martin

University of British Columbia

Greg Martin (he/him/his) obtained a BSc in Mathematics from Stanford University and a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Michigan in 1997, and was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study and the University of Toronto. He is currently a Professor in the UBC Mathematics Department.

His research interests include analytic number theory, typically problems stemming from classical multiplicative number theory using complex analytic and "anatomy of integers" techniques. He is also interested in understanding, engaging with, and improving equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) at UBC and beyond, and he is the Chair of the Mathematics Department's EDI Committee.

He is a two-time winner of the MAA's Lester R. Ford Award and a winner of a UBC Faculty of Science Killam Teaching Prize.

Dr. Martin is one of the leaders for the PIMS CRG in L-Functions and Analytic Number Theory.

For every positive integer n, the quotient ring Z/nZ is the natural ring whose additive group is cyclic. The "multiplicative group modulo n" is the group of invertible elements of this ring, with the multiplication operation. As it turns out, many...

Abstract A primitive set is a set of positive integers with the property that no element of the set divides another. We review a 1934 result of Besikovitch, showing that certain primitive sets can have large upper density even though their counting...
