227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesConde-Alonso, Jos´e Manuel (Universitat Aut`onoma de Barcelona, Spain): A dyadic RBMO space and pointwise domination of nonhomogeneous Calder´on- Zygmund operators. Abstract: We revisit basic nonhomogeneous Caldero´n-Zygmund theory from the point of view of martingales. Given a measure µ of polynomial growth on Rd, we refine a deep result by David and Mattila to construct an
Algebra/Topology Seminar, Bulent Tosun, University of Alabama
228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle : Contact geometry in low dimensions Abstract: This series of talks will be about explaining some fundamental open problems in three-dimensional contact geometry. This third talk will be on overtwisted vs. tight dichotomy (or flexible vs. rigid), and existence problem of tight contact structures.
Analysis Seminar – Edward Timko, Indiana University
227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle : On polynomial n-tuples of commuting isometries Abstract : We extend some of the results of Agler, Knese, and McCarthy to n-tuples of commuting isometries for n>2. Let V=(V_1,...,V_n) be an n-tuple of a commuting isometries on a Hilbert space and let Ann(V) denote the set of all n-variable polynomials p such that p(V)=0.

228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Atiyah sequence Abstract: Review of the theory of exact sequences to define a connection on a principal bundle. The construction of a gauge theory of gravity on a Lie algebroid is considered.
Last Math Undergrad Tea of the Semester and Putnam Exam Pep Rally
302 Gordon Palmer HallOn Saturday, December 3, the UA Putnam team will compete in the 77th annual Putnam Exam. Come to tea, cheer on the team and celebrate the end of the semester. There will be special refreshments and a visit by Big Al!
Analysis Seminar – Geoff Diestel, Texas A&M of Central Texas
227 Gordon Palmer Hall 505 Hackberry Lane, Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesTitle: Determining Convex Bodies from Central Sections Abstract: Barker and Larman posed a problem which asks if a convex body in real n-space is uniquely determined by the volumes of its hyperplane sections supported by an internal compact convex set. A survey of some partial results along with the Minkowski uniqueness theorem are presented along

228 Gordon Palmer Hall Tuscaloosa, AL, United StatesEvery Calculus student is familiar with the classical Rolle’s theorem stating that if a real polynomial p satisfies p(−1) = p(1), then it has a critical point in (−1, 1). In 1934, L. Tschakaloff strengthened this result by finding a minimal interval, contained in (−1, 1), that holds a critical point of every real polynomial
