We consider the influence of an incompressible drift on the expected exit time of a diffusing particle from a bounded domain. Mixing resulting from an incompressible drift typically enhances diffusion so one might think it always decreases the expected exit time. Nevertheless, we show that in two dimensions, the only simply connected domains for which the expected exit time is maximized by zero drift are the discs.

In this talk, I will talk about recent developments on the point mass problem on the real line. Starting from the point mass formula for orthogonal polynomials on the real line, I will present new methods employed to compute the asymptotic formulae for the orthogonal polynomials and how these formulae can be applied to solve the point mass problem when the recurrence coefficients are asymptotically identical. The technical difficulties involved in the computation will also be discussed.

We show variational estimates for paraproducts, which can be viewed as bilinear generalizations of L\'epingle’s variational estimates for martingale averages or scaled families of convolution operators. The heart of the matter is the case of low variation exponents. Joint work with Camil Muscalu and Christoph Thiele.

We discuss a non-linear eigenvalue problem where the eigenvalue has a natural control-theoretic interpretation as an optimal "long-time averaged cost." We also show how such problems arise in financial market models with small transaction costs.

We start the proof of arXiv:1001.4043, which characterizes the two weight inequality for the Hilbert transform. This session will be devoted to necessity of the Poisson A_2 condition and the Energy Condition. Joint work with Ignacio Uriate-Tuero, and Eric Sawyer.

James Curry will continue his presentation of the paper  arXiv:0911.3437, which proves two-weight norm inequalities for a class of dyadic, positive operators.

Given a set of complex exponential e^{i \lambda_n x} how large do you have to take r so that the sequence is independent in L^2[-r,r] ? The answer is given in terms of the Beurling-Mallivan density.

This is the first meeting of a weekly working seminar on two weight inequalities in Harmonic Analysis. James Curry will present the paper arXiv:0911.3437, which proves two-weight norm inequalities for a class of dyadic, positive operators.

We are going to finish explaining the proof of Seip's Interpolation Theorem for the Bergman Space. This will be the last meeting of the seminar for the semester.

We are going to continue explaining the proof of Seip's Interpolation Theorem for the Bergman Space. We are going to demonstrate the sufficiency of these conditions for a certain example. We then will show how to deduce the full theorem with appropriate modifications of the example.
