Wednesday, September 5 -   Chuck Moore
Extrapolation methods and Fourier Series
Abstract:  We discuss two sequence acceleration methods and their applications to Fourier series.

Virginia Naibo
Schrodinger wave operators
Abstract: I will discuss some notions of scattering theory in the context of Schrodinger equations with a potential. In particular I will talk about existence and Lp boundedness properties of wave operators.

Measuring noise-sensitivity in dynamical systems
We outline asymptotic approaches for analyzing and quantifying the effects of small noise in certain types of dynamics. To illustrate the methods, we will focus on two main areas: metastable interfaces and stochastic effects inmodels with delay. In these systems, small noise can result in significant qualitative variation in behavior.Although very different models, they have many similarities from the viewpoint of stochastic dynamics.  Generalizations to other areas will also be discussed.

Annular Capillary surfaces
The shape of the interface between two fluids in equilibrium has a long history with rigorous work going back to Laplace and Young.  Much attention has been paid to the "capillary tube" where the fluid rises (or falls) within a narrow tube inserted into a reservoir of fluid.  It is somewhat surprising that the related configuration with an annular base domain has not been previously scrutinized.  I will give short proofs of basic results and give some details from my current work on this problem.  If time premits I will also give some examples of applications and open problems.

Friday, November 2 and Saturday, November 3-   Prairie Analysis Seminar

Wednesday, November 7
Dan Volok
Rational Hyperholomorphic functions

Wednesday, November 14 -  Carlos Pérez,  Universidad de Sevilla, visiting University of Kansas
Multilinear harmonic analysis: recent  results
In this talk we plan to present some results concerning Multilinear Harmonic Analysis related to Calderón-Zygmund Singular Integrals. We will show that these Multilinear Singular Integrals are controlled by an appropriate new multilinear maximal function allowing to build the appropriate multilinear Ap theory of weights. We will also consider commutators
with B.M.O. functions and show the sharp multilinear end-point estimate.

Wednesday, November 28 -  Diego Maldonado
On the linearized Monge-Ampere equation
We study properties of the solutions to the linearized Monge-Ampere equation under weak measure theoretic assumptions. This is joint work (in progress) with Liliana Forzani.

Monday, December 3 - Kaj Nystrom, visiting the University of Kentucky
Regularity of Free Boundaries in Two-phase Problems for the p-Laplace operator.
In this talk I will discuss recent joint work with John Lewis concerning the regularity of free boundaries in two-phase problems for the p-Laplace operator.
