Abstract:
In this survey the circle problem is treated in the broad sense, as the problem of the asymptotic properties of the quantity $P(x)$, the remainder term in the circle problem. A survey of recent results in this direction is presented. The main focus is on the behaviour of $P(x)$ on short intervals. Several conjectures on the local behaviour of $P(x)$ which lead to a solution of the circle problem are presented. A strong universality conjecture is stated which links the behaviour of $P(x)$ with the behaviour of the second term in Weyl's formula for the Laplace operator on a closed Riemannian 2-manifold with integrable geodesic flow.
