Lecture: Harmonic Analysis (SS 2020)



Lecture
Wed 16.45-18.15 (in F 513) and Thu 16.45-18.15 (in ????), starting on April 22, 2020
There will be no lectures in the week of June 1.

Audience
In view of the decision of the state secretaries of the department of sciences, the beginning of this lecture will take place online. For this reason, students who are planning to participate in this course are advised to write an e-mail to k DOT merz AT tu-bs DOT de.

Prerequisites
Analysis 1-3. A nodding acquaintance with functional analysis, distribution theory and some familiarity with the Fourier transform are helpful.

Further literature will be announced here.
  1. More on decreasing rearrangements and their applications (in isoperimetric inequalities) can be found, e.g., here: R. D. Benguria - Isoperimetric inequalities for eigenvalues of the Laplacian
  2. For more details on Lorentz spaces and interpolation, see Chapter 4 in C. Bennett and R. Sharpley - Interpolation of Operators
  3. Some basic notes on spectral theory
  4. More on singular integrals on weighted L^p, the first Hardy space H^1 (instead of L^1) and the relation between H^1 and BMO can be found in Chapters III-V in Stein - Harmonic Analysis: Real-Variable Methods, Orthogonality, and Oscillatory Integrals.
  5. More on higher Riesz transforms and spherical harmonics can be found in Stein - Singular Integrals (Chapter III, § 3)
