Jared Duker Lichtman

Jared Duker Lichtman is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Stanford University. He joined the department in the 2023-24 academic year as an NSF Postdoctoral Fellow, working with Prof. Kannan Soundararajan, and will become a Szegő Assistant Professor starting in 2024-25. Lichtman completed his PhD at the University of Oxford in 2023. His research focuses on number theory, particularly the distribution of primes in arithmetic progressions, where he has set a new world record. His work explores subtle patterns emerging from basic multiplication and related multiplicative structures.

Jared Duker Lichtman is a researcher at Stanford University specializing in number theory. His work focuses on problems related to prime numbers, primitive sets, and conjectures such as the Erdős primitive set conjecture. Lichtman has contributed to the study of primes in arithmetic progressions, the distribution of numbers free of large prime factors, and the behavior of the Möbius function on shifted primes. His research also explores the Banks–Martin conjecture, the Hardy–Littlewood–Chowla conjecture, and the properties of almost primes. Lichtman's publications often involve deep analytical techniques and connections to classical number theory problems.
