Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox scientist Martin Neil Huxley FLSW (born in 1944) is a British mathematician, working in the field of analytic number theory.
He was awarded a PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1970, the year after his supervisor Harold Davenport had died. He is a professor at Cardiff University.
Huxley proved a result on gaps between prime numbers,[1] namely that if pn denotes the n-th prime number and if θ > 7/12, then
for all sufficiently large n.
Huxley also improved the known bound on the Dirichlet divisor problem.[2]
In 2011, Huxley was elected a Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales.[3]
