Title Of Talk: Equidistribution of Heegner points and the partition function

Abstract: In this talk, we will show how the equidistribution of Galois suborbits of Heegner points on the modular curve X_0(6) can be used to obtain a new asymptotic formula for the partition function p(n). We will then show how this formula can be used to significantly sharpen the classical error bounds of Rademacher and D. H. Lehmer. This is joint work with Amanda Folsom.
