SPECIAL SESSION and ROUND TABLE
ON OPEN PROBLEMS


  • December 17, 2002, Tuesday 14h00 (Room P 5)
  • Yuri Karlovich (Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Morelos, México)

    "Pseudodifferential Operators and Their Applications"

    Abstract.

    The talk is devoted to a symbol calculus for Banach algebras of pseudodifferential operators (PDO's) with slowly oscillating data and their applications to an interpolation theorem for singular integral operators on weighted Lebesgue spaces and to the calculation of local spectra for singular integral operators with shifts and slowly oscillating data on Lebesgue spaces with Muckenhoupt weights over Carleson curves. The study is based on the Carleson-Hunt theorem on almost everywhere convergence and its applications to the boundedness of PDO's, on the techniques of oscillatory integrals, and on the theory of Mellin PDO's with slowly oscillating symbols.

  • Ilya Spitkovsky (College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA, USA)

    "Factorization of Almost Periodic Matrix Functions and its Applications"

    Abstract.

    We will give an overview of the current state of the spectral theory of Toeplitz operators with matrix semi almost periodic symbol. The role of the factorization problem for purely almost periodic (in Bohr sense) matrix functions will be explained. Existence of factorization will be discussed along with algorithms of its actual construction. Applications include (but are not limited to) convolution type equations on finite intervals.
