Dynamical sampling is a new area in sampling theory that deals with signals that evolve over time under the action of a linear operator. There are lots of studies on various aspects of the dynamical sampling problem. However, they all focus on uniform discrete time-sets $\mathcal T\subset\{0,1,2,\ldots, \}$. In our study, we concentrate on the case $\mathcal T=[0,L]$. The goal of the present work is to study the frame property of the systems $\{A^tg:g\in\mathcal G, t\in[0,L] \}$. To this end, we also

In this talk I will discuss the Mikhlin-H\"ormander multiplier theorem for $L^p$ boundedness of Fourier multipliers in which the multiplier belongs to a fractional Sobolev space with smoothness $s$. I will show that this theorem does not hold in the limiting case $|1/p - 1/2|=s/n$. I will also present a sharp variant of this theorem involving a space of Lorentz-Sobolev type. Some of the results presented in this talk were obtained in collaboration with Loukas Grafakos.

The n-dimensional L^p Brunn-Minkowski inequality for p<1 , in particular the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality, is proposed by Boroczky-Lutwak-Yang-Zhang in 2013, based on previous work of Firey and Lutwak . When it came out, it promptly became the major problem in convex geometry. Although some partial results on some specific convex sets are shown to be true, the general case stays wide open. In this talk I will present a breakthrough on this conjecture due to E.

Abstract: Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian n-manifold without boundary. Consider the corresponding $L^2$-normalized Laplace-Beltrami eigenfunctions. Eigenfunctions of this type arise in physics as modes of periodic vibration of drums and membranes. They also represent stationary states of a free quantum particle on a Riemannian manifold. In the first part of the lecture, I will give a survey of results which demonstrate how the geometry of $M$ affects the behaviour of these special functions, particularly their “size” which can be quantified by

In this talk we shall explore some of the consequences of the solution to the Kadison-Singer problem. In the first part of the talk we present results from a joint work with Itay Londner. We show that every subset $S$ of the torus of positive Lebesgue measure admits a Riesz sequence of exponentials $\{ e^{i\lambda x}\} _{\lambda \in \Lambda}$ in $L^2(S)$ such that $\Lambda\subset\mathbb{Z}$ is a set with gaps between consecutive elements bounded by $C/|S|$. In the second part of the talk we shall explore a higher rank extension of the main result of Marcus,

Koldobsky showed that for an arbitrary measure on R^n, the measure of the largest section of a symmetric convex body can be estimated from below by 1/sqrt{n}, in with the appropriate scaling. He conjectured that a much better result must hold, however it was recemtly shown by Koldobsky and Klartag that 1/sqrt{n} is best possible, up to a logarithmic error. In this talk we will discuss how to remove the said logarithmic error and obtain the sharp estimate from below for Koldobsky's slicing problem.

I will discuss some free probability inequalities on the circle which can be seen in two different ways, one is via random matrix approximation, and another one by itself. I will show what I believe to be the key of these new forms, namely the fact that the circle acts on itself. For instance the Poincare inequality has a certain form which reflects this aspect. I will also briefly show how a transportation inequality can be discussed and how the standard Wasserstein distance can be modified to introduce this interesting phenomena.

Spherical averages, in the continuous and discrete setting, are a canonical example of averages over lower dimensional varieties. We demonstrate here a new approach to proving the sparse bounds for these opertators. This approach is a modification of an old technique of Bourgain.

I shall tell about some background and known results in regards to the celebrated and fascinating Log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality, setting the stage for Xingyu to discuss connections with elliptiic operators a week later.

It has been known that when an equiangular tight frame (ETF) of size |Φ|=N exists, Φ ⊂ Fd (real or complex), for p > 2 the p-frame potential ∑i ≠ j | < φj, φk > |p achieves its minimum value on an ETF over all N sized collections of vectors. We are interested in minimizing a related quantity: 1/ N2 ∑i, j=1 | < φj, φk > |p . In particular we ask when there exists a configuration of vectors for which this quantity is minimized over all sized subsets of the real or complex sphere of a fixed dimension.
