Primes as sums of Fibonacci numbers

The purpose of talk is to discuss the relationship between prime numbers and sums of
Fibonacci numbers. The main results says that for every sufficiently large integer k there exists
a prime number that can be represented as the sum of k different and non-consecutive Fibonacci numbers.
This property is closely related to, and based on, a prime number theorem for certain morphic sequences.
The proof uses Gowers norms estimates that leads to level-of-distribution results as well
as to estimates of sums of type I and II. Furthermore a strong central limit theorem for
the Zeckendorf sum-of-digits function along primes has to be established.
