In this talk we will discuss applications of a new method of proving vector-valued inequalities discovered by M. Bateman and C. Thiele. We give new proofs of the Fefferman-Stein inequality (without using weighted theory) and vector-valued estimates of the Carleson operator using this method. Also as an application to bi-parameter problems, we give a new proof for bi-parameter multipliers without using product theory. As an application to the bilinear setting, we talk about new vector-valued estimates for the bilinear Hilbert transform, and estimates for the paraproduct tensored with the bilinear Hilbert transform. The first part of this work is joint work with Ciprian Demeter.

This will be a survey talk on the ongoing classification problem for Carleson and reverse Carleson measures for the de Branges-Rovnyak spaces. We will relate these problems to some recent work of Lacey and Wick on the boundedness of the Cauchy transform operator.

This talk discusses exponential frames and Riesz sequences in L^2 over a set of finite measure. (Roughly speaking, Frames and Riesz sequences are over complete bases and under complete bases, respectively). Intuitively, one would assume that the frequencies of an exponential frame can not be too sparse, while those of an exponential Riesz sequence can not be too dense. This intuition was confirmed in a very general theorem of Landau, which holds for all bounded sets of positive measure. Landau's proof involved a deep study of the eigenvalues of compositions of certain projection operators. Over the years Landaus technique, as well as some relaxed version of it, were used in many different setting to obtain results of a similar nature. Recently , joint with A. Olevskii, we found a surprisingly simple approach to Landau's density theorems, which provides stronger versions of these results. In particular, the theorem for Riesz sequences was extended to unbounded sets (for frames, such an extension is trivial). In this talk we will discuss Landau's results and our approach for studying questions of this type.
