Abstract Among the efficient tools to study the distribution of the prime numbers, which is a principal theme in Number Theory, are the so-called Vinogradov-Korobov method and also the analysis of the entire functions, represented in terms of a Fourier transform, whose zeros are all real. Both tools have their origin in Harmonic Analysis. Other applications which reveal the fundamental role of this branch of Analysis in Number Theory can be encountered in the excellent book of one of the most celebrated contemporary experts in Analytic Number Theory, Hugh Montgomery, entitled "Ten Lectures on the Interface Between Analytic Number Theory and Harmonic Analysis".It is worth mentioning that two historic and brilliant results concerning old problems about prime numbers, obtained very recently, were based on the so called "seiving"' which isbased in the analysis of certain sums of trigonometric polynomials.On the other hand, recent research shows that the characterisation of the Fourier transforms with real zeros is directly related not only to the Riemann hypothesis but also to fundamental problems in Statistical Mechanics.The objective of this project is to study the applications of Harmonic Analysis in Analytic Number Theory.
