[Special time and location] The content of this talk is joint work with Yumeng Ou. We describe a novel framework for the he analysis of multilinear singular integrals acting on Banach-valued functions.Our main result is a Coifman-Meyer type theorem for operator-valued multilinear multipliers acting on suitable tuples of UMD spaces, including, in particular, noncommutative Lp spaces.

We will describe sufficient conditions on a set $\Lambda \subset [0,2\pi) $ so that the maximal operator below is bound on $\ell^2(Z)$. $$\sup _{\lambda \in \Lambda} \Big| \sum_{n\neq 0} e^{i \lambda n^2} f(x-n)/n\Big|$$ The integral version of this result is an influential result to E.M. Stein. Of course one should be able to take $\Lambda = [0,2\pi) $, but such a proof would have to go far beyond the already complicated one we will describe. Joint work with Ben Krause.

Uncertainty principles are results which restrict the localization of a function and its Fourier transform. One class of uncertainty principles studies generators of structured systems of functions, such as wavelets or Gabor systems, under the assumption that these systems form a basis or some generalization of a basis. An example is the Balian-Low Theorem for Gabor systems. In this talk, I will discuss sharp, Balian-Low type, uncertainty principles for finitely generated shift-invariant subspaces

We shall describe how the study of certain measures called reflectionless measures can be used to understand the behaviour of oscillatory singular integral operators in terms of non-oscillatory quantities. The results described are joint work with Fedor Nazarov, Maria Carmen Reguera, and Xavier Tolsa

We will discuss the problem of restricting the Fourier transform to manifolds for which the curvature vanishes on some nonempty set. We will give background and discuss the problem in general terms, and then outline a proof of an essentially optimal (albeit conditional) result for a special class of hypersurfaces.

In elementary calculus, we learn that (1+z/n)^n has limit exp(z) as n approaches infinity. This type of scaling limit arises in many contexts - from approximation theory to universality limits in random matrices. We discuss some examples.

We consider generalized Bochner-Riesz multipliers $(1-\rho(\xi))_+^{\lambda}$ where $\rho(\xi)$ is the Minkowski functional of a convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^2$, with emphasis on domains for which the usual Carleson-Sj\"{o}lin $L^p$ bounds can be improved. We produce convex domains for which previous results due to Seeger and Ziesler are not sharp.

In my talk, I will discuss coordinate shifts acting on Dirichlet spaces on the bidisk and the problem of finding cyclic vectors for these operators. For polynomials in two complex variables, I will describe a complete characterization given in terms of size and nature of zero sets in the distinguished boundary.

We will prove a recent version of the weighted Carleson Embedding Theorem for vector-valued function spaces with matrix weights. Time permitting, we will discuss the applications of this theorem to estimates on well-localized operators. This result relies heavily on the work of Kelly Bickel and Brett Wick and is joint with Sergei Treil.

In the recent past multiple orthogonal polynomials have attracted great attention. They appear in simultaneous rational approximation, simultaneous quadrature rules, number theory, and more recently in the study of certain random matrix models. These are sequences of polynomials which share orthogonality conditions with respect to a system of measures. A central role in the development of this theory is played by the so called Nikishin systems of measures for which many results of the standard
