Topic: Every classical inequality for the Fourier operator is trivial Time: Thursday, April 3rd, 11:00 AM-12:30 PM CEST Where:Leslokaal 3.2 (Krijgslaan 281, Building S8, Ghent University)
In this talk, we will see that if the Fourier operator is bounded between two classical spaces (for instance, rearrangement invariant spaces), then every operator that maps L1 and L2 to Linfty and L2, respectively, must also be bounded. We will also discuss why this means that there cannot be any “interesting” classical Fourier inequalities and give some applications. This is joint work with SergeyΒ Tikhonov.

The idea is to collaborate with several outstanding Colombian mathematicians on a project leading to educational advancement in Colombia. This project will be valuable to pass to younger generations a significant perspective in the field of pseudo-differential operators through the leading Colombian partners of the project. This scientific plan is part of the initiatives of the Ghent Analysis and PDE Center to support mathematical research in developing countries, particularly, from Latin America. The project is promoted by Prof. Dr. Michael Ruzhansky (PI) and co-promoted by our FWO Postdoctoral Researchers (Co-PIs) Dr. Duvan Cardona and Dr. Marianna Chatzakou. As part of our strategic alliances we will cooperate with ICMAM Latin America (International Community of Mathematicians from Latin America) in the organisation of several virtual conferences related to this project.
