MA8106 Harmonic Analysis Spring 2018

This week we meet on Monday February 26th 11:15-13:00 in Simastuen (6th floor SBII) to discuss problems for chapter 4. Then on Wednesday usual time continuing chapter 5, Thursday 10:15-12:00 in Simastuen and Friday usual time, we start chapter 7 on Thursday.

The first meeting will be on Friday, January 12th, 10:15 in KJL 21. Information about the course will be given and the schedule will be finalized. The suggested schedule is Monday/Wednesday/Friday 10.15-12.00.

The first lecture is planned for Friday, January 19th. Preliminary schedule can be also found below.

Textbok and additional reading

Book: Camil Muscalu and Wilhelm Schlag, “Classical and Multilinear Harmonic Analysis", Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics Vol. 137, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 2013

The first volume starts with classical one-dimensional topics such as Fourier series, harmonic functions, and the Hilbert transform. Then the higher-dimensional Calderón–Zygmund and Littlewood–Paley theories are developed. Probabilistic methods and their applications are discussed, as well as applications of harmonic analysis to partial differential equations. The volume concludes with uncertainty principles (chapter 10), Fourier restrictions theorems (chapter 11) an introduction to Weyl calculus (chapter 12). We plan to cover some or all of these topics.
