Singular Integrals
Singular Integrals
Date
Starting day: October 7, 2019.
Last day: January 23, 2020.
Schedule: Monday 11 h. to 13 h. and Thursday 11 h. to 13 h. (there may be some flexibility in case of incompatibilities).
Location
Room A2 of the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM)
Lecturers: Xavier Tolsa, ICREA-UAB (theory), Yorgos Sakellaris, UAB (problem sessions)
Course Description:
This is a basic and rather standard course on singular integrals -a topic of central importance in the areas of analysis and PDE’s. The course might be useful specially for analysts and PDE people, and also for probabilists.
Organiser:
Xavier Tolsa, ICREA-UAB (theory)
