In this talk, we show an adaptation of the Kohler-Jobin rearrangement technique to the setting of the Gauss space. As a result, we present the Gaussian analogue of the Kohler-Jobin's resolution of a conjecture of Polya-Szego: when the Gaussian torsional rigidity of a (convex) domain is fixed, the Gaussian principal frequency is minimized for the half-space.
In this talk, we present an operator theoretic analogue of the F. and M. Riesz Theorem. We first recast the classical theorem in operator theoretic terms. We then establish an analogous result in the context of representations of the Cuntz algebra, highlighting notable differences from the classical setting. At the end, we will discuss some extensions of these ideas. This is joint work with R. Clouâtre and R. Martin.

This talk is based on a chapter that I wrote for a book in honor of John Benedetto's 80th birthday. Years ago, John wrote a text "Real Variable and Integration", published in 1976. This was not the text that I first learned real analysis from, but it became an important reference for me. A later revision and expansion by John and Wojtek Czaja appeared in 2009. Eventually, I wrote my own real analysis text, aimed at students taking their first course in measure theory. My goal was that each proof was to be both rigorous and enlightening.
Dynamical Sampling is, in a sense, a hypernym classifying the set of inverse problems arising from considering samples of a signal and its future states under the action of a linear evolution operator. In Dynamical Sampling, both the signal, $f$, and the driving operator, $A$, may be unknown. For example, let $f \in l^2(I)$ where $I=\{1, \ldots, d\}$. Suppose for $\Omega \subset I$ we know $\{{ A^j f(i)} : j= 0, \ldots l_i, i\in \Omega\}$ for some $A: l^2(I) \to l^2(I)$.
An equivalent formulation of the Fourier Extension (F.E.) conjecture for a compact piece of the paraboloid states that the F.E. operator maps $ L^{2+\frac{2}{d}}([0,1]^{d}) $ to $L^{2+\frac{2}{d}+\varepsilon}(\mathbb{R}^{d+1}) $ for every $\varepsilon>0 $. It has been fully solved only for $ d=1 $ and there are many partial results in higher dimensions regarding the range of $ (p,q) $ for which $L^{p}([0,1]^{d}) $ is mapped to $ L^{q}(\mathbb{R}^{d+1}) $.
The main topics of this thesis concern two types of approximate Schauder frames for the Banach sequence space $\ell_1$. The first main topic pertains to finite-unit norm tight frames (FUNTFs) for the finite-dimensional real sequence space $\ell_1^n$. We prove that for any $N \geq n$, FUNTFs of length $N$ exist for real $\ell_1^n$. To show the existence of FUNTFs, specific examples are constructed for various lengths. These constructions involve repetitions of frame elements.
Intermittency is a property observed in the study of turbulence. Two of the most popular ways to measure it are based on the concept of flatness, one with structure functions in the physical space and the other one with high-pass filters in the frequency space. Experimental and numerical simulations suggest that the two approaches do not always give the same results. In this talk, we prove they are not analytically equivalent.
