It is known that if $\{x_n\}$ is a frame for a separable Hilbert space, then there exist some sequences $\{y_n\}$ such that $x= \sum x_n$, and this sum converges in the norm of H. This equation is called the reconstruction formula of x. In this talk, we will talk about the existence of frames that admit absolutely convergent and unconditionally convergent reconstruction formula. Some characterizations of such frames will also be presented.

Let ${\mathcal F}L^q_s ({\mathbf R}^2)$ denote the set of all tempered distributions $f \in {\mathcal S}^\prime ({\mathbf R}^2)$ such that the norm $ \| f \|_{{\mathcal F}L^q_s} = (\int_{{\mathbf R}^2}\, ( |{\mathcal F}[f](\xi)| \,( 1+ |\xi| )^s )^q\, d \xi )^{ \frac{1}{q} }$ is finite, where ${\mathcal F}[f]$ denotes the Fourier transform of $f$. We investigate the spectral synthesis for the unit circle $S^1 \subset {\mathbf R}^2$ in ${\mathcal F}L^q_s ({\mathbf R}^2)$ with $1\frac{2}{q^\prime}$, where $q^\prime$ denotes the conjugate exponent of $q$.

It is known for many years that various inequalities in convex geometry have information-theoretic analogues. The most well known example is the Entropy power inequality which corresponds to the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, but the theory of optimal transport allows to prove even better analogues.

We settle a 60 year old question in mathematical physics, namely finding the exact domain of convergence of the spherical harmonic expansions (SHE, expansions at infinity in Legendre polynomials) of the gravitational potential of a planet. These expansions are the main tool in processing satellite data to find information about planet Earth in locations that are inaccessible, as well as the subsurface mass distribution and other quantities, with innumerable practical applications.

A meromorphic inner function is a bounded analytic function on the upper half plane with unit modulus almost everywhere on the real line and a meromorphic continuation to the complex plane. Meromorphic inner functions and equivalently meromorphic Herglotz functions play a central role in inverse spectral theory of differential operators. In this talk, I will discuss some uniqueness problems for meromorphic inner functions and their applications to inverse spectral theory of canonical Hamiltonian systems as Borg-Marchenko type results.

We study $L^p$ bounds on Nikodym maximal functions associated to spheres. In contrast to the spherical maximal functions studied by Stein and Bourgain, our maximal functions are uncentered: for each point in $\mathbb R^n$, we take the supremum over a family of spheres containing that point. This is joint work with Georgios Dosidis and Jongchon Kim.

We will look at a number of interesting examples — some proven, others merely conjectured — of Hamburger moment sequences in combinatorics. We will consider ways in which this positivity may be expected, for instance in different types of combinatorial statistics on perfect matchings that turn out to encode moments in noncommutative analogues of the classical Central Limit Theorem. We will also consider situations in which this positivity may be surprising, and where proving it would open up new approaches to a class of very hard open problems in combinatorics.

This talk will be about connections between spectral problems for canonical systems and non-linear Fourier transforms (NLFTs). Non-linear Fourier transform is closely connected to Dirac systems, which form a subclass of canonical systems of differential equations. This connection allows one to find analogs of results on inverse spectral problems for canonical systems in the area of NLFT.

The Fourier restriction conjecture and the Bochner-Riesz conjecture ask for Lebesgue space mapping properties of certain oscillatory integral operators. They both are central in harmonic analysis, are open in dimensions $\geq 3$, and notably have the same conjectured exponents. In the 1970s, H\"{o}rmander asked if a more general class of operators (known as H\"{o}rmander type operators) all satisfy the same $L^p$-boundedness as in the above two conjectures.
