Peter D. T. A. Elliott

Peter D. T. A. Elliott (born 1941) is an American mathematician who works in number theory. He took his PhD at the University of Cambridge in 1969 under the supervision of Harold Davenport and now teaches at the University of Colorado at Boulder. He is one of the two mathematicians after whom the Elliott-Halberstam conjecture is named. His books include the two volumes of Probabilistic Number Theory, on mean value theorems and on central limit theorems, published by Springer in 1979 and 1980, Arithmetic Functions and Integer Products from 1985, and Duality in Analytic Number Theory, published by Cambridge University Press in 1997. A further Springer volume of 1998, Analytic and Elementary Number Theory, is a tribute to Paul Erdos and appears in the same list of his books.
