Prime numbers have fascinated mathematicians and amateur numberphiles alike for millennia. They underlie modern-day cryptography and continue to be the subject of much research (and some speculation). In this talk Dr Julia Wolf, Heilbronn Reader in Combinatorics and Number Theory at the University of Bristol's School of Mathematics, will look at a handful of open problems concerning the primes which all involve taking differences.
