Title: Probabilistic methods in the study of prime gaps

Abstract: We describe how probabilistic tools and reasoning are used to study problems about gaps between prime numbers in various sequences, for example the sequence of all primes, and the sequence of prime values of a polynomial. This is joint work with Ben Green, Sergei Konyagin, James Maynard, Carl Pomerance and Terence Tao.
