Group theory seminar

Uniform convergence groups and the mapping class group.

Chris Leininger (UIUC Math)

Abstract: Abstract: I'll discuss both positive an negative results relating the notion of uniform convergence group to that of convex cocompactness in the mapping class group. This is joint work with Richard Kent.

Weighted Trigonometric Sums Over a Half-Period

O -Yeat Chan (UIUC)

Abstract: Let $f(z)$ be a quotient of trigonometric functions. Suppose $f(z)$ has period $k$, an odd integer. We use a contour integral to evaluate the sum $$\sum a_i f(i)$$ for any sequence of complex numbers $a_i$ in terms of the Fourier coefficients of $f$. This work generalizes a paper by Berndt and Zaharescu that considered sums weighted by real, odd, non-principal Dirichlet characters.

Some category theory (cont'd)

Shivi Bansal   [email] (UIUC Math)

Abstract: We will finish describing triangulated categories, their truncations and cores. To wrap up, we will see an important example of a core of a triangulated category.

Generalized 3G theorem, non-local Schrodinger operator and relativistic stable process on non-smooth open sets

Panki Kim   [email] (UIUC Math)

Abstract: When G is Green function on a domain, we say that the 3G theorem is true if G(x,z)G(z,w)/G(x,w) is less than c g(|x-z|) g(|z-w|) /g(|x-w|) where g(|x-y|) is Green function in R^d. 3G theorem above is closely related to Kato class, the conditional Gauge theorem and local Schrodinger operators. In this talk, we will discuss about the generalized 3G theorem; The generalized 3G form is G(x,y)G(z,w)/G(x,w) where y may be different from z. This 3G form appears in non-local Schrodinger operator theory. The generalized 3G theorem is equally important in non-local Schrodinger operators as is the classical 3G theorem in local Schrodinger operators. Using the generalized 3G theorem, we give a concrete form of non-local Kato class. We will also discuss other consequences of the generalized 3G theorem. In particular, some boundary potential theory of relativistic stable process in non-smooth open sets. This is a joint work with Young-Ran Lee.
