Title: ADELIC ARITHMETIC

Abstract: The adelic perspective introduced by Emil Artin and made famous by his student John Tate in his celebrated thesis, has been central in numerous advances of number theory, especially in the context of automorphic L-functions.  It has had limited impact though on classical analytic number theory. But that will soon change.  I will discuss a paper by Kubota and Sugita that uses adelic probability theory to deduce some classical limit theorems of probabilistic number theory.
