Title:  Convenient Coordinates
 
Abstract:  We discuss the method of picking a convenient coordinate system adapted to vector fields.  Let X_1,...,X_q be either real or complex C^1 vector fields.  We discuss the question of when there is a coordinate system in which the vector fields are smoother (e.g., C^m, or C^\infty, or real analytic).  By answering this in a quantitative way, we obtain coordinate charts which can be used as generalized scaling maps.  When the vector fields are real this is joint work with Stovall, and continues in the line of quantitative sub-Riemannian geometry initiated by Nagel, Stein, and Wainger.  When the vector fields are complex one obtains a geometry with more structure which can be thought of as "sub-Hermitian".
 
===Hiroyoshi Mitake===
 
Title:  Derivation of multi-layered interface system and its application
 
Abstract:  In this talk, I will propose a multi-layered interface system which can
be formally derived by the singular limit of the weakly coupled system of
the Allen-Cahn equation.  By using the level set approach, this system can be
written as a quasi-monotone degenerate parabolic system.
We give results of the well-posedness of viscosity solutions, and study the
singularity of each layers. This is a joint work with H. Ninomiya, K. Todoroki.
 
===Joris Roos===
 
Title: A polynomial Roth theorem on the real line
 
Abstract: For a polynomial P of degree greater than one, we show the existence of patterns of the form (x,x+t,x+P(t)) with a gap estimate on t in positive density subsets of the reals. This is an extension of an earlier result of Bourgain. Our proof is a combination of Bourgain’s approach and more recent methods that were originally developed for the study of the bilinear Hilbert transform along curves. This talk is based on a joint work with Polona Durcik and Shaoming Guo.
 
===Michael Greenblatt===
 
Title:  Maximal averages and Radon transforms for two-dimensional hypersurfaces
 
Abstract:  A general local result concerning L^p boundedness of maximal averages over 2D hypersurfaces is described, where p > 2. The surfaces are allowed to have either the traditional smooth density function or a singularity growing as |(x,y)|^{-t} for some 0 < t < 2. This result is a generalization of a theorem of Ikromov, Kempe, and Mueller. Similar methods can be used to show sharp L^p to L^p_a Sobolev estimates for associated Radon transform operators when p is in a certain interval containing 2.
 
===David Beltran===
 
Title:  Fefferman Stein Inequalities
 
Abstract:  Given an operator T, we focus on obtaining two-weighted inequalities in which the weights are related via certain maximal function. These inequalites, which originated in work of Fefferman and Stein, have been established in an optimal way for different classical operators in Harmonic Analysis. In this talk, we survey some classical results and we present some recent Fefferman-Stein inequalities for pseudodifferential operators and for the solution operators to dispersive equations.
 
===Jonathan Hickman===
 
Title: Factorising X^n.
 
Question: how many ways can the polynomial $X^n$ be factorised as a product of linear factors? Answer: it depends on the ring... In this talk I will describe joint work with Jim Wright investigating certain exponential sum estimates over rings of integers modulo N. This theory serves as a discrete analogue of the (euclidean) Fourier restriction problem, a central question in contemporary harmonic analysis. In particular, as part of this study, the question of counting the number of factorisations of polynomials over such rings naturally arises. I will describe how these number-theoretic considerations can themselves be approached via methods from harmonic analysis.
 
===Xiaochun Li ===
 
Title:  Recent progress on the pointwise convergence problems of Schrodinger equations
 
Abstract:  Recently, Guth, Du and I solved the pointwise convergence problem of Schrodinger equations in two-dimensional case. We proved that the solution to free Schrodinger equation in R^2 converges to its initial data, provided the initial data belongs to H^s for s larger than 1/3.  This result is sharp, up to the end point, due to Bourgain's example. The proof relies on the polynomial partitioning method and  the decoupling method. In addition, the pointwise convergence problem is closely related to Fourier restriction conjecture.
 
===Fedor Nazarov=== 
 
Title: The Lerner-Ombrosi-Perez bound in the Muckenhoupt-Wheeden
conjecture is sharp.
 
Abstract: We show that the upper bound $[w]_{A_1}\log (e+[w]_{A_1})$ for
the norm of the Hilbert transform on the line as an operator from $L^1(w)$
to $L^{1,\infty}(w)$ cannot be improved in general. This is a joint work
with Andrei Lerner and Sheldy Ombrosi.
 
===Stefanie Petermichl===
Title: Higher order Journé commutators
 
Abstract: We consider questions that stem from operator theory via Hankel and
Toeplitz forms and target (weak) factorisation of Hardy spaces. In
more basic terms, let us consider a function on the unit circle in its
Fourier representation. Let P_+ denote the projection onto
non-negative and P_- onto negative frequencies. Let b denote
multiplication by the symbol function b. It is a classical theorem by
Nehari that the composed operator P_+ b P_- is bounded on L^2 if and
only if b is in an appropriate space of functions of bounded mean
oscillation. The necessity makes use of a classical factorisation
theorem of complex function theory on the disk. This type of question
can be reformulated in terms of commutators [b,H]=bH-Hb with the
Hilbert transform H=P_+ - P_- . Whenever factorisation is absent, such
as in the real variable setting, in the multi-parameter setting or
other, these classifications can be very difficult.
 
Such lines were begun by Coifman, Rochberg, Weiss (real variables) and
by Cotlar, Ferguson, Sadosky (multi-parameter) of characterisation of
spaces of bounded mean oscillation via L^p boundedness of commutators.
We present here an endpoint to this theory, bringing all such
characterisation results under one roof.
 
The tools used go deep into modern advances in dyadic harmonic
analysis, while preserving the Ansatz from classical operator theory.

Title: Parsell-Vinogradov systems in higher dimensions
 
Abstract:
I will present a few results on counting the numbers of integer solutions of Parsell-Vinogradov systems in higher dimensions.
Applications to Waring’s problem and to the problem of counting rational linear subspaces lying on certain hyper-surface will be discussed.
Joint works with Jean Bourgain, Ciprian Demeter and Ruixiang Zhang.
 
===Naser Talebizadeh Sardari===
 
Title: Quadratic forms and the semiclassical eigenfunction hypothesis
 
Abstract:  Let <math>Q(X)</math> be any integral primitive positive definite quadratic form in <math>k</math> variables, where <math>k\geq4</math>,  and discriminant <math>D</math>. For any integer <math>n</math>, we give an upper bound on the number of integral solutions of <math>Q(X)=n</math>  in terms of <math>n</math>, <math>k</math>, and <math>D</math>. As a corollary, we prove  a conjecture of Lester and Rudnick on the small scale equidistribution of almost all functions belonging to any orthonormal basis of a given  eigenspace of the Laplacian on the flat torus <math>\mathbb{T}^d</math> for <math>d\geq 5</math>. This conjecture is motivated by the work of Berry\cite{Berry, Michael} on semiclassical eigenfunction hypothesis.

''Integrals of eigenfunctions on hyperbolic manifolds''


Title: Some transfer operators on the circle with trigonometric weights
Let X be a compact hyperbolic manifold, and let Y be a totally geodesic closed submanifold in X. I will discuss the problem of bounding the integral of a Laplace eigenfunction on X over Y, as the eigenvalue tends to infinity.  I will present an upper bound for these integrals that is sharp on average, and briefly describe ongoing work with Farrell Brumley in which we attempt to produce eigenfunctions with very large periods.


Abstract:  A transfer operator is an averaging operator over the preimages of a given map. Certain dynamical properties of the map can be studied through its associated transfer operator. In this talk we will introduce a class of weighted transfer operators associated to the Bernoulli maps on the circle (i.e. multiplication by a given integer, mod 1). We will illustrate how the spectral properties of these operators may depend on the specific weight chosen and demonstrate multiple phase transitions. We also present some results on evaluating the spectral radii and corresponding eigenfunctions of these operators, as well as their connections to Fourier analysis. This is joint work with Hans Volkmer.

Title: Projections in Banach Spaces and Harmonic Analysis
Title


Abstract: In this talk, we will discuss the measure theoretic principles of orthogonal projections that follow from the classical Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem. The Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem offers a characterization of rectifiability of one-dimensional sets in R^d by the size of their projections to lines. We will focus on the validity of analogues to the Besicovitch-Federer projection theorem with respect to such sets in general Banach spaces. In particular, we will show that the projection theorem is false when the Banach space is infinite-dimensional and discuss related applications to questions in Harmonic Analysis. This is joint work with Marianna Csornyei and David Bate.

Title: Singular integrals and a problem on mixing flows
===Name===


Abstract: The talk will be about  results related to Bressan's mixing problem. We present  an inequality for the change of a  Bianchini semi-norm of characteristic functions under the  flow generated by a divergence free time dependent vector field. The approach leads to a bilinear singular integral operator  for which one proves bounds  on Hardy spaces. This is joint work with Mahir Hadžić,  Charles Smart and    Brian Street.

Title: Hibert transforms in a 3 by 3 matrix and applications in number theory


Abstract:  This talk could interest both analysts and number theorists. I will first present 35 variants of Hilbert transforms, with a focus on their connections with ergodic theory, number theory, and combinatorics. Then I will show how to use Fourier analysis tools to reduce a number theory problem (Roth theorem) to an algebraic geometry problem: this joint work Li and Sawin fully answers a question of Bourgain and Chang about three-term polynomial progressions in subsets of finite fields. I guarantee that a second-year graduate student can understand at least 50% of the talk.

Title:  The (Euclidean) Fractal Uncertainty Principle
Abstract


Abstract:  On the real line, a  version of the uncertainty principle says: If a nonzero function f has its Fourier support lying in B and |A||B| is much smaller than 1, then the L^2 norm of f on A cannot be close to the whole L^2 norm of f. Recently, Bourgain and Dyatlov proved a Fractal Uncertainty Principle (FUP) which has a similar statement. The difference is that in FUP the product of |A| and |B| can be much bigger, but A and B both have to be porous at many scales. We will introduce the theorem and then discuss some unusual features of its proof, most notably the application of the Beurling-Malliavin Theorem. In the original work  the dependence on the dimensions of both fractals was ineffective. We will also discuss why we can overcome this ineffectivity (joint work with Long Jin).

Title: On Fourier restriction for a non-quadratic hyperbolic surface
Title


Abstract: In contrast to what is known about Fourier restriction for elliptic surfaces, rather little is known about  hyperbolic surfaces. Hitherto, basically only the quadric $z=xy$ had been studied successfully. In my talk, after giving some background on Fourier restriction, I shall report on recent joint work with S. Buschenhenke and A. Vargas on a cubic perturbation of this quadric. Our analysis reveals that the geometry of the problem changes drastically  in the presence of a perturbation term,  and that new techniques, compared to the elliptic case, are required to handle more general hyperbolic surfaces.

Integrals of eigenfunctions on hyperbolic manifolds

Let X be a compact hyperbolic manifold, and let Y be a totally geodesic closed submanifold in X. I will discuss the problem of bounding the integral of a Laplace eigenfunction on X over Y, as the eigenvalue tends to infinity. I will present an upper bound for these integrals that is sharp on average, and briefly describe ongoing work with Farrell Brumley in which we attempt to produce eigenfunctions with very large periods.
