York Analysis Seminars, Summer Term 2000

Unless otherwise indicated, talks are in Vanbrugh College, room V/131, at 11:15 every (well, almost every!) Wednesday morning during term. Coffee beforehand in the common room opposite (V/135) at 11:00. Everybody welcome!

  • Title: Flows on homogeneous spaces and Diophantine approximation
• Wednesday 10th May 2000
  • Speaker: Brent Everitt

• Wednesday 24th May 2000 no seminar
• Wednesday 31st May 2000
  • Speaker: Simon Eveson
  • Title: Norms of Iterates of Volterra Operators (IV)
  • Abstract: in earlier talks I have described the asymptotic behaviour of |V^n| where V is a Volterra convolution operator and || is either the operator norm or the Hilbert Schmidt norm. In this talk I shall return to the classical Volterra (indefinite integration) operator and discuss the behaviour of |V^n| where || initially represents the trace norm, and then via Schatten-von Neumann theory a large class of operator norms.
• Tuesday 6th June 2000 10:15 V/131; coffee 9:45 Vanbrugh SCR
  • Speaker: Professor Gregory Margulis (Yale, visiting the Newton Institute, Cambridge)
  • Title: Quantitative Oppenheim conjecture
  • The talk will be on refining his dramatic proof of the Oppenheim conjecture using ideas from dynamical systems (flows in homogeneous spaces)
  • Note unusual day and time
• Wednesday 14th June 2000
  • Speaker: Chris Fewster
  • Title: Towards Optimal Quantum Inequalities
• Wednesday 21st June 2000
  • Speaker: Dmitry Kleinbock
  • Title: Khintchine-type theorems on manifolds
