But I have no previous knowledge of Sieve Theory. Although I know about some books in sieve theory like Montgomery ( Topics in multiplicative number theory) , Friedlander and Iwaniac ( Sieve theory: A musical) but my Institute only accepts research papers in masters thesis.

So, can any researcher here suggest 2 research papers which led to the beginning of the subject of sieve theory. I will study them and present them along with the papers I have already studied.


I have searched in past 4-5 days for some papers in different domains of ANT over web pages of different professors and some other websites but it doesn't lead me much as I am just a beginner in this field.


Thanks!



References of research papers which lead to starting of Sieve Theory
Sieve theory as such is generally considered to have started with Brun's 1915 and 1919 papers. The titles are "Über das Goldbachsche Gesetz und die Anzahl der Primzahlpaare" and ""La série $1/5+1/7+1/11+1/13+1/17+1/19+1/29+1/31+1/41+1/43+1/59+1/61+\cdots$, où les dénominateurs sont nombres premiers jumeaux est convergente ou finie". 


Legendre's sieve predates Brun's sieve, but it seems to be thought of more of a precursor to sieve theory than anything else.
