Abstract: Given a set of integers, we wish to know how many primes there are in the set. Modern tools allow us to obtain an asymptotic for the number of primes, or at least a lower bound of the expected order, assuming certain strength Type-I information (the distribution of the sequence in progressions) and Type-II information (bilinear sums over the sequence). The methods used previously, especially Harman's sieve, are largely ad-hoc and shed little light on the limitations of the methods. In joint work with James Maynard, we develop a systematic framework for understanding the theoretical limits of these prime detecting sieves. In particular, we determine precisely what Type I/II information is sufficient to guarantee an asymptotic formula for the number of primes in the set, show a lower bound on the Type-II interval needed to detect primes, and provide best-possible bounds on the number of primes in the set for certain ranges of the three parameters which govern the strength of the Type I an d Type II bounds.
