Cardinal Characteristics & Partition Properties

מרץ 28, 12:15—13:30, 2017, Math -101

תקציר

For quite some time, partition relations were considered assuming the generalized continuum hypothesis. After forcing entered the stage, independence results were pursued as well. Even later, connections between them, cardinal characteristics and other combinatorial principles where started to be considered by Joji Takahashi, Stevo Todorcevic and Jean Larson. I will give an account of the history of these endeavours and recent advances made in collaboration with William Chen and Chris Lambie-Hanson. Towards the end I am going to give an outlook towards possibilities of future research.

Some Fundamental Operator Relations in Convex Geometry and Classical Analysis

מרץ 28, 14:30—15:30, 2017, Math -101

מרצה

Vitali Milman (Tel Aviv University)

תקציר

The main goal of the talk is to show how some classical constructions in Geometry and Analysis appear (and in a unique way) from elementary and very simple properties. For example, the polarity relation and support functions are very important and well known constructions in Convex Geometry, but some elementary properties uniquely imply these constructions, and lead to their functional versions, say, in the class of log-concave functions. It turns out that they are uniquely defined also for this class, as well as for many other classes of functions. In this talk we will use these Geometric results as an introduction to the main topic which involves the analogous results in Analysis. We will start the Analysis part by characterizing the Fourier transform (on the Schwartz class in R^n) as, essentially, the only map which transforms the product to the convolution, and discuss a very surprising rigidity of the Chain Rule Operator equation (which characterizes the derivation operation). There will be more examples pointing to an exciting continuation of this direction in Analysis.

The results of the geometric part are mostly joint work with Shiri Artstein-Avidan, and of the second, Analysis part, are mostly joint work with Hermann Koenig.

The talk will be easily accessible for graduate students.
