Title: Exponential frames and syndetic Riesz sequences Abstract: In this talk we shall explore some of the consequences of the solution to the Kadison-Singer problem. In the first part of the talk we present results from a joint work with Itay Londner. We show that every subset $S$ of the torus of positive Lebesgue measure

Title: Compact Embeddings of Weighted Sobolev Spaces Abstract: In this talk I will discuss some improvements to recent results concerning the compact em- bedding of generalized Sobolev classes into weighted Lq spaces. The novelty of the result lay in the approach. Arguments use Cauchy sequences rather than distributional denitions of Sobolev classes. As a result,

Title: Cotlar’s Inequality Abstract: We will go over Cotlar’s classic inequality concerning the maximal truncation operator of a Calderon-Zygmund operator.  We will also cover some recent results for operators that satisfy a stronger Cotlar inequality.

Statistical Strategies in Analyzing Data with Unequal Prior Knowledge The advent of technologies including high throughput genotyping and computer information technologies has produced ever large and diverse databases that are potentially information rich. This creates the need to develop statistical strategies that have a sound mathematical foundation and are computationally feasible and reliable. In statistics,

Topic: Folds, Intersections, and Inflections:  Distinguishing Cylinders from Moebius Bands Abstract: On a smooth or polyhedral surface a strip neighborhood of a closed curve is either an orientable cylinder or a non-orientable Moebius band.  How can we distinguish which form it has by observing singular fold chains for projections to planes or self-intersection curves of
