Title: Local Version of Courant's Nodal domain theorem

Abstract:
Consider a smooth, compact Riemannian manifold with no boundary, endowed with a smooth metric. A famous theorem of Courant states that the k-th eigenfunction for the Laplace-Beltrami operator can have at most k nodal domains. Nodal domains are the open and connected sets where the eigenfunction does not vanish. H. Donnelly and Fefferman obtained some 30 years ago a local version of this theorem. Improvements were made by Chanillo-Muckenhoupt and others. In this talk we obtain the optimal local version of the local Courant theorem. We also relate this result to conjectures of S.-T. Yau on nodal sets, that is the zero set of eigenfunctions. The results of our talk have been obtained jointly with A. Logunov, E. Mallinikova and D. Mangoubi.

Professor Alex Iosevich, University of Rochester

Title: Finite point configurations and the Vapnik-Chervonenkis dimension

Abstract:

The Vapnik-Chervonenkis (VC) dimension was invented in 1970 to study learning models. This notion has since become one of the cornerstones of modern data science. This beautiful idea has also found applications in other areas of mathematics. In this talk we are going to describe how the study of the VC-dimension in the context of families of indicator functions of spheres centered at points in sets of a given Hausdorff dimension (or in sets of a given size inside vector spaces over finite fields) gives rise to interesting, and in some sense extremal, point configurations.

Professor Oscar Domingues Bonilla, The University of Lyon

Title: John–Nirenberg spaces revisited

Abstract:
We study John—Nirenberg-type spaces where oscillations of functions are controlled via covering lemmas. Our methods give new surprising results and clarify classical inequalities. Joint work with Mario Milman (Florida and Buenos Aires).

Title: Compensated integrability: classical and singular Divergence-BV symmetric tensors

Abstract:
Compensated Integrability is a recent tool of Functional Analysis, which extends both the Gagliardo Inequality and the Isoperimetric Inequality. It concerns the determinant of positive symmetric tensors whose row-wise Divergence is controlled in the space of bounded measures. It is somehow dual to Brenier's Theorem of Optimal Transport. Its applications cover several domains in Mathematical Physics and in Differential Geometry.

★SPECIAL LECTURE Part 1/3

Wednesday 24th November 2021, 10:00–11:00 JST (UTC+9), online on Zoom

Associate Professor Kabe Moen, The University of Alabama

Title: Fractional Integrals and weights Part I

Abstract:
I will introduce fractional integral operator and its related maximal operator. After developing some of the relevant background, we will discuss its boundedness on Lebesgue spaces and various related inequalities of Hedberg and Welland. We will also cover endpoint bounds and applications to Sobolev-Poincare inequalities.



Tuesday 30th November 2021, 10:00–11:00 JST (UTC+9), online on Zoom

Professor Po Lam Yung,  Australian National University

Title: Sobolev norms revisited

Abstract:
In this talk, we will describe some new ways of characterising Sobolev norms, using sizes of superlevel sets of suitable difference quotients. They provide remedy in certain cases where some critical Gagliardo-Nirenberg interpolation inequalities fail, and lead us to investigate real interpolations of certain fractional Besov spaces. Some connections will be drawn to earlier work by Bourgain, Brezis and Mironescu. Joint work with Haim Brezis, Jean Van Schaftingen, Qingsong Gu, Andreas Seeger and Brian Street.



★SPECIAL LECTURE Part 2/3

Wednesday 1st December 2021, 10:00–11:00 JST (UTC+9), online on Zoom

Associate Professor Kabe Moen, The University of Alabama

Title: Fractional Integrals and weights Part II

Abstract:
In this talk we will cover the one weight inequalities for the fractional integral operator and related fractional maximal operator. We will discuss the background of A_p weights and A_{p,q} weights and go over the dyadic decomposition of the fractional integral operator.  We will also cover auxiliary results like sharp constants.

Title: Fractional Integrals and weights Part III

Abstract:
In this talk we will cover the two weight inequalities for the fractional integral operator and related fractional maximal operator. We will discuss the background of two-weight inequalities and Sawyer’s testing conditions and two weight characterization. We will also discuss bump conditions and some open questions.
