Cem Yıldırım

Cem Yalçın Yıldırım (born July 8, 1961 ) is a Turkish mathematician who deals with analytical number theory.

Yildirim studied at the Technical University of the Middle East (ODTÜ) in Ankara (pre-diploma 1982) and received his doctorate in 1990 from the University of Toronto with John Friedlander ( Zeta Function Theory: Pair Correlation And Value Distribution ). He was at Bilkent University in Turkey and is currently a professor at Boğaziçi Üniversitesi in Istanbul .

Yildirim proved with Dan Goldston and János Pintz in 2005 a theorem about the number of prime twins with a small distance from each other (compared to the mean value, which is of the order of magnitude log p for a prime p) (see article Goldston). The first proof with Goldston in 2003 was incorrect, but could be corrected in cooperation with Pintz. The three mathematicians were jointly awarded the Cole Prize for Number Theory in 2014. In 2014 he was invited speaker with Goldston and Pintz at the ICM in Seoul (Small gaps between primes).
