Real Analysis, Harmonic Analysis, and Applications

Abstract

This workshop in real and harmonic analysis surveyed recent investigations in areas including geometric measure theory and restriction theory, multiple ergodic averages, local smoothing estimates, Schrödinger and Hörmander-type oscillatory integral operators, multilinear estimates and analysis on the Hamming cube. In particular, the workshop emphasized the recent solutions of two longstanding problems: the Kakeya phenomenon in dimension three, and almost everywhere convergence of long time averages associated to multiple commuting measure-preserving transformations. The methods presented during the workshop have yielded applications in ergodic theory, number theory, and computer science.
