Title: Dirac inner functions
Decoupling by way of approximation


Abstract: My talk will focus on some new (and old) complex analytic objects arising from Dirac systems of differential equations.
Since Bourgain and Demeter's seminal 2017 decoupling result for nondegenerate hypersurfaces, several attempts have been made to extend the theory to degenerate hypersurfaces $M$. In this talk, we will discuss using surfaces derived from the local Taylor expansions of $M$ in order to obtain "approximate" decoupling results. By themselves, these approximate decouplings do not avail much. However, upon considerate iteration, for a specifically chosen $M$, they culminate in a decoupling partition of $M$ into caps small enough either as originally desired or otherwise genuinely nondegenerate at the local scale. A key feature that will be discussed is the notion of approximating a non-convex hypersurface $M$ by convex hypersurfaces at various scales. In this manner, contrary to initial intuition, non-trivial $\ell^2$ decoupling results will be obtained for $M$.
We will discuss connections between problems in complex function theory, spectral and scattering problems for differential
operators and the non-linear Fourier transform.

Title: A triangular Hilbert transform with curvature, I & II.
Transcendental Julia Sets with Fractional Packing Dimension


Abstract: The triangular Hilbert is a two-dimensional bilinear singular
If f is an entire function, the Julia set of f is the set of all points such that f and its iterates locally do not form a normal family; nearby points have very different orbits under iteration by f. A topic of interest in complex dynamics is studying the fractal geometry of the Julia set.
originating in time-frequency analysis. No Lp bounds are currently
known for this operator.
In these two talks we discuss a recent joint work with Michael Christ
on a variant of the triangular Hilbert transform involving curvature.
This object is closely related to the bilinear Hilbert transform with
curvature and a maximally modulated singular integral of Stein-Wainger
type. As an application we also discuss a quantitative nonlinear Roth
type theorem on patterns in the Euclidean plane.
The second talk will focus on the proof of a key ingredient, a certain
regularity estimate for a local operator.


===Andrew Zimmer===
In this talk, we will discuss my thesis result where I construct non-polynomial (transcendental) entire functions whose Julia set has packing dimension strictly between (1,2). We will introduce various notions of dimension and basic objects in complex dynamics, and discuss a history of dimension results in complex dynamics. We will discuss some key aspects of the proof, which include a use of Whitney decompositions of domains as a tool to calculate the packing dimension, and some open questions I am thinking about.


Title:  Complex analytic problems on domains with good intrinsic geometry
===Giuseppe Negro===


Abstract: In this talk, I will describe a new class of domains in complex Euclidean space which is defined in terms of the existence of a Kaehler metric with good geometric properties. This class is invariant under biholomorphism and includes many well-studied classes of domains such as strongly pseudoconvex domains, finite type domains in dimension two, convex domains, homogeneous domains, and embeddings of Teichmuller spaces. Further, certain analytic problems are tractable for domains in this family even when the boundary is non-smooth. In particular, it is possible to characterize the domains in this family where the dbar-Neumann operator on (0, q)-forms is compact (which generalizes an old result of Fu-Straube for convex domains).
Stability of sharp Fourier restriction to spheres


===Hong Wang===
In dimension $d\in\{3, 4, 5, 6, 7\}$, we establish that the constant functions maximize the weighted $L^2(S^{d-1}) - L^4(R^d)$ Fourier extension estimate on the sphere, provided that the weight function is sufficiently regular and small, in a proper and effective sense which we will make precise. One of the main tools is an integration by parts identity, which generalizes the so-called "magic identity" of Foschi for the unweighted inequality with $d=3$, which is exactly the classical Stein-Tomas estimate.


Title: Improved decoupling for the parabola
Joint work with E.Carneiro and D.Oliveira e Silva.


Abstract: In 2014, Bourgain and Demeter proved the  $l^2$ decoupling estimates for the paraboloid with constant $R^{\epsilon}$. 
===Name===
We prove an $(l^2, L^6)$ decoupling inequality for the parabola with constant $(\log R)^c$.  This is joint work with Larry Guth and Dominique Maldague.

Title: Smooth Nonnegative Interpolation
Abstract


Abstract: Suppose E is an arbitrary subset of R^n. Let f: E  \rightarrow [0, \infty). How can we decide if f extends to a nonnegative function C^m function F defined on all of R^n? Suppose E is finite. Can we compute a nonnegative C^m function F on R^n that agrees with f on E with the least possible C^m norm? How many computer operations does this take? In this talk, I will explain recent results on these problems. Non-negativity is one of the most important shape preserving properties for interpolants. In real life applications, the range of the interpolant is imposed by nature. For example, probability density, the amount of snow, rain, humidity, chemical concentration are all nonnegative quantities and are of interest in natural sciences. Even in one dimension, the existing techniques can only handle nonnegative interpolation under special assumptions on the data set. Our results work without any assumptions on the data sets.

Title: Low dimensional pinned distance sets via spherical averages


Abstract: An inequality is derived for the average t-energy of weighted pinned distance measures, where 0 < t < 1, in terms of the L^2 spherical averages of Fourier transforms of measures. This generalises the result of Liu (originally for Lebesgue measure) to pinned distance sets of dimension smaller than 1, and strengthens Mattila's result from 1987, originally for the full distance set.

Title: New perspectives on the uncertainty principle


Abstract: The phrase ``uncertainty principle'' refers to a wide array of results in several disparate fields of mathematics, all of which capture the notion that a function and its Fourier transform cannot both be ``very localized''. The measure of localization varies from one uncertainty principle to the next, and well-studied notions include the variance (and higher moments), the entropy, the support-size, and the rate of decay at infinity. Similarly, the proofs of the various uncertainty principles rely on a range of tools, from the elementary to the very deep. In this talk, I'll describe how many of the uncertainty principles all follow from a single, simple result, whose proof uses only a basic property of the Fourier transform: that it and its inverse are bounded as operators $L^1 \to L^\infty$. Using this result, one can also prove new variants of the uncertainty principle, which apply to new measures of localization and to operators other than the Fourier transform. This is joint work with Avi Wigderson.

Title: New Brezis--Van Schaftingen--Yung inequalities via maximal operators, Garsia inequalities and Caffarelli--Silvestre extensions


Abstract: The celebrated Bourgain--Brezis--Mironescu formula enables us to recover Sobolev spaces in terms of limits of Gagliardo seminorms. Very recently, Brezis, Van Schaftingen and Yung have proposed an alternative methodology to approach Sobolev spaces via limits of weak-type Gagliardo functionals. The goal of this talk is twofold. Firstly, we will show that the BvSY result is a special case of a more general phenomenon based on maximal inequalities. In particular, we shall derive not only analogs of the BvSY theorem for different kinds of function spaces (Lebesgue, Calderon, higher-order Sobolev, …), but also applications to ergodic theory, Fourier series, etc. In the second part of the talk, we shall investigate the fractional setting in the BvSY theorem. Our approach is based on new Garsia-type inequalities and an application of the Caffarelli--Silvestre extension. This is joint work with Mario Milman.

Title: Isometries of Wasserstein spaces
https://www.math.wisc.edu/wiki/index.php/Previous_Analysis_seminars


Abstract: Due to its nice theoretical properties and an astonishing number of
=Extras=
applications via optimal transport problems, probably the most
intensively studied metric nowadays is the p-Wasserstein metric. Given
a complete and separable metric space $X$ and a real number $p\geq1$,
one defines the p-Wasserstein space $\mathcal{W}_p(X)$ as the collection
of Borel probability measures with finite $p$-th moment, endowed with a
distance which is calculated by means of transport plans \cite{5}.
 
The main aim of our research project is to reveal the structure of the
isometry group $\mathrm{Isom}(\mathcal{W}_p(X))$. Although
$\mathrm{Isom}(X)$ embeds naturally into
$\mathrm{Isom}(\mathcal{W}_p(X))$ by push-forward, and this embedding
turned out to be surjective in many cases (see e.g. [1]), these two
groups are not isomorphic in general. Kloeckner in [2] described
the isometry group of the quadratic Wasserstein space
$\mathcal{W}_2(\mathbb{R}^n)$, and it turned out that the case of $n=1$
is special in the sense that $\mathrm{Isom}(\mathcal{W}_2(\mathbb{R})$
is extremely rich. Namely, it contains a large subgroup of wild behaving
isometries that distort the shape of measures. Following this line of
investigation, in \cite{3} we described
$\mathrm{Isom}(\mathcal{W}_p(\mathbb{R}))$ and
$\mathrm{Isom}(\mathcal{W}_p([0,1])$ for all $p\geq 1$.
 
In this talk I will survey first some of the earlier results in the
subject, and then I will present the key results of [3]. If time
permits, I will also report on our most recent manuscript [4] in
which we extended Kloeckner's multidimensional results. Joint work with Gy\"orgy P\'al Geh\'er (University of Reading)
and D\'aniel Virosztek (IST Austria).

Title: On the Bochner-Riesz operator and the maximal Bochner-Riesz operator
 
Abstract: The Bochner-Riesz problem is one of the most important problems in the field of Fourier analysis. It has a strong connection to other famous problems, such as the restriction conjecture and the Kakeya conjecture. In this talk, I will present some recent improvements to the Bochner-Riesz conjecture and the maximal Bochner-Riesz conjecture. The main methods we used are polynomial partitioning and the Bourgain Demeter l^2 decoupling theorem.

Title: Sobolev improving for averages over space curves
 
Abstract: Consider the averaging operator given by convolution with arclength measure on compact piece of a smooth curve in R^n. A simple question is to precisely quantify the gain in regularity induced by this averaging, for instance by studying the L^p-Sobolev mapping properties of the operator. This talk will report on ongoing developments towards understanding this problem. In particular, we will explore some non-trivial necessary conditions on the gain in regularity.  Joint with D. Beltran, S. Guo and A. Seeger.

Title: Canonical blow-ups of Grassmann manifolds
 
Abstract:  We introduce certain canonical blow-ups \mathcal T_{s,p,n}, as well as their distinct submanifolds \mathcal M_{s,p,n}, of Grassmann manifolds G(p,n) by partitioning the Plücker coordinates with respect to a parameter s. Various geometric aspects of \mathcal T_{s,p,n} and \mathcal M_{s,p,n} are studied, for instance, the smoothness, the holomorphic symmetries, the (semi-)positivity of the anti-canonical bundles, the existence of Kähler-Einstein metrics, the functoriality, etc. In particular, we introduce the notion of homeward compactification, of which \mathcal T_{s,p,n} are examples, as a generalization of the wonderful compactification.

Title: Some structure theorems on general doubling measures.
 
Abstract: In this talk, we will first  several structure theorems about general doubling measures. Secondly, we will include some main idea to prove one of these results. More precisely,  we will focus on the construction of an explicit family of measures that are p-adic doubling for any finite set of primes, however, not doubling. This part generalizes the work by Boylan, Mills and Ward in 2019 in a highly non-trivial way. As some application, we apply these results (that is, the same construction) to show analogous statements for Muckenhoupt Ap weights and reverse Holder weights. This is a joint work with Tess Anderson.
 
===Krystal Taylor===


Title: Quantifications of the Besicovitch Projection theorem in a nonlinear setting
Abstract: There are several classical results relating the geometry, dimension, and measure of a set to the structure of its orthogonal projections.
It turns out that many nonlinear projection-type operators also have special geometry that allows us to build similar relationships between a set and its "projections", just as in the linear setting. We will discuss a series of recent results from both geometric and probabilistic vantage points.  In particular, we will see that the multi-scale analysis techniques of Tao, as well as the energy techniques of Mattila, can be strengthened and generalized to projection-type operators satisfying a transversality condition. As an application, we address the Buffon curve problem, which is to find upper and lower bounds for the rate of decay of the Favard curve length of the four-corner Cantor set.
===Dominique Maldague===
Title: A new proof of decoupling for the parabola
Abstract: Decoupling has to do with measuring the size of functions with specialized Fourier support (in our case, in a neighborhood of the truncated parabola). Bourgain and Demeter resolved the l^2 decoupling conjecture in 2014, using ingredients like the multilinear Kakeya inequality, L^2 orthogonality, and induction-on-scales. I will present the ideas that go into a new proof of decoupling and make some comparison between the two approaches. This is related to recent joint work with Larry Guth and Hong Wang, as well as forthcoming joint work with Yuqiu Fu and Larry Guth.
===Diogo Oliveira e Silva===
Title: Global maximizers for spherical restriction
Abstract: We prove that constant functions are the unique real-valued maximizers for all $L^2-L^{2n}$ adjoint Fourier restriction inequalities on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}\subset\mathbb{R}^d$, $d\in\{3,4,5,6,7\}$, where $n\geq 3$ is an integer. The proof uses tools from probability theory, Lie theory, functional analysis, and the theory of special functions. It also relies on general solutions of the underlying Euler--Lagrange equation being smooth, a fact of independent interest which we discuss. We further show that complex-valued maximizers coincide with nonnegative maximizers multiplied by the character $e^{i\xi\cdot\omega}$, for some $\xi$, thereby extending previous work of Christ & Shao (2012) to arbitrary dimensions $d\geq 2$ and general even exponents. This talk is based on results obtained with René Quilodrán.
===Oleg Safronov===
Title: Relations between discrete and continuous spectra of differential operators
Abstract: We will discuss relations between different parts of spectra of differential operators. In particular, we will see that negative and positive spectra of Schroedinger operators are related to each other. However, there is a stipulation:  one needs to consider two operators one of which is obtained  from the other
by flipping the sign of the potential at each point x. If one knows only that the negative spectra of the two operators are discrete, then their positive spectra do not have gaps. If one knows more about the rate of accumulation of the discrete negative eigenvalues to zero, then one can say more about the absolutely continuous component of the positive spectrum.
===Ziming Shi===
Title: Sharp Sobolev $1/2$-estimate for $\bar\partial$ equations on strictly pseudoconvex domains with $C^2$ boundary
Abstract: We give a solution operator for $\bar\partial$ equation that gains the sharp $1/2$-derivative in the Sobolev space $H^{s,p}$ on any strictly pseudoconvex domain with $C^2$-boundary, for all $1< p < \infty$  and $s>1/p$.
We also show that the same solution operator gains a $1/2$-derivative in the H\"older-Zygmund space $\Lambda^s$ for any $s>0$, where previously it was known for $s>1$ by work  of X. Gong.
The main ingredients used in our proof are a Hardy-Littlewood lemma of Sobolev type and a new commutator estimate.
Joint work with Liding Yao.
===Xiumin Du===
Title: Falconer's distance set problem
Abstract: A classical question in geometric measure theory, introduced by Falconer in the 80s is, how large does the Hausdorff dimension of a compact subset in Euclidean space need to be to ensure that the Lebesgue measure of its set of pairwise Euclidean distances is positive. In this talk, I'll report some recent progress on this problem, which combines several ingredients including Orponen's radial projection theorem, Liu's L^2 identity obtained using a group action argument, and the refined decoupling theory. This is based on joint work with Alex Iosevich, Yumeng Ou, Hong Wang, and Ruixiang Zhang.
===Etienne Le Masson===
Title: Quantum ergodicity for Eisenstein series on large genus hyperbolic surfaces
Abstract: We will present a delocalisation result for eigenfunctions of the Laplacian on finite area hyperbolic surfaces of large genus. This is a quantum ergodicity result analogous to a theorem of Zelditch showing that the mass of most L2 eigenfunctions and Eisenstein series (eigenfunctions associated with the continuous spectrum) equidistributes when the eigenvalues tend to infinity. Here we will fix a bounded spectral window and look at a similar equidistribution phenomenon when the area/genus goes to infinity (more precisely the surfaces Benjamini-Schramm converge to the plane). The conditions we require on the surfaces are satisfied with high probability in the Weil-Petersson model of random surfaces introduced by Mirzakhani. They also apply to congruence covers of the modular surface, where we recover a result of Nelson on the equidistribution of Maass forms (with weaker convergence rate). The proof is based on ergodic theory methods.
Joint work with Tuomas Sahlsten.

Decoupling by way of approximation

Since Bourgain and Demeter's seminal 2017 decoupling result for nondegenerate hypersurfaces, several attempts have been made to extend the theory to degenerate hypersurfaces $M$. In this talk, we will discuss using surfaces derived from the local Taylor expansions of $M$ in order to obtain "approximate" decoupling results. By themselves, these approximate decouplings do not avail much. However, upon considerate iteration, for a specifically chosen $M$, they culminate in a decoupling partition of $M$ into caps small enough either as originally desired or otherwise genuinely nondegenerate at the local scale. A key feature that will be discussed is the notion of approximating a non-convex hypersurface $M$ by convex hypersurfaces at various scales. In this manner, contrary to initial intuition, non-trivial $\ell^2$ decoupling results will be obtained for $M$.

Jack Burkart

Transcendental Julia Sets with Fractional Packing Dimension

If f is an entire function, the Julia set of f is the set of all points such that f and its iterates locally do not form a normal family; nearby points have very different orbits under iteration by f. A topic of interest in complex dynamics is studying the fractal geometry of the Julia set.

In this talk, we will discuss my thesis result where I construct non-polynomial (transcendental) entire functions whose Julia set has packing dimension strictly between (1,2). We will introduce various notions of dimension and basic objects in complex dynamics, and discuss a history of dimension results in complex dynamics. We will discuss some key aspects of the proof, which include a use of Whitney decompositions of domains as a tool to calculate the packing dimension, and some open questions I am thinking about.

In dimension $d\in\{3, 4, 5, 6, 7\}$, we establish that the constant functions maximize the weighted $L^2(S^{d-1}) - L^4(R^d)$ Fourier extension estimate on the sphere, provided that the weight function is sufficiently regular and small, in a proper and effective sense which we will make precise. One of the main tools is an integration by parts identity, which generalizes the so-called "magic identity" of Foschi for the unweighted inequality with $d=3$, which is exactly the classical Stein-Tomas estimate.

Joint work with E.Carneiro and D.Oliveira e Silva.
