Abstract: Shift-invariant (SI) spaces play a prominent role in the study of wavelets, Gabor systems, and other group frames. Working in the setting of LCA groups, we use a variant of the Zak transform to classify SI spaces, and to simultaneously describe families of vectors whose shifts form frames for the SI spaces they generate.

The workshop will launch the thematic semesters on Dynamics (Fall 2017) and Control (Spring 2018) for GT-MAP activities. This is a two-day workshop, the first day focusing on the theme of Dynamics, and the second day focusing on the theme of Control. There will be light refreshments throughout the event. The workshop will be held in the Klaus building Room 2447. More information at http://gtmap.gatech.edu/events/gt-map-workshop-dynamics-and-control

GT MAP sponsored "Workshop on Dynamical Systems" to mark the retirement of Prof. Shui Nee Chow. Full day August 10- 11. After nearly 30 years at Georgia Tech, Prof. Shui Nee Chow has officially retired. This workshop will see several of his former students, post-docs, and friends, coming together to thank Shui Nee for his vision, service, and research, that so greatly impacted the School of Mathematics at Georgia Tech. The workshop will be held in the Klaus building Room 1447. More information at http://gtmap.gatech.edu/events/workshop-dynamical-system

Georgia Tech is the site of the 2017 SIAM Conference on Applied Algebraic Geometry (July 31 to August 4). This biennial meeting is an activity of the Activity Group in Applied Geometry of SIAM, the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. The SIAM Activity Group in Algebraic Geometry aims to bring together researchers who use algebraic geometry in industrial and applied mathematics. "Algebraic geometry" is interpreted broadly to include at least algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, noncommutative algebra, symbolic and numeric computation, algebraic and geometric combinatorics, representation theory, and algebraic topology. These methods have already seen applications in biology, coding theory, cryptography, combustion, computational geometry, computer graphics, quantum computing, control theory, geometric design, complexity theory, machine learning, nonlinear partial differential equations, optimization, robotics, and statistics. School of Mathematics professors Greg Blekherman, Anton Leykin, and Josephine Yu lead the local organizing committee.
