Analysis on Metric Spaces Seminar 2025 | Periodic homogenization for non-local stable-like operators, Professor Takashi Kumagai, Waseda University
Homogenization has been a very active area of research in both PDE and probability theory for many years. In this talk, we will first review classical results on periodic homogenization for divergence form operators. We will then present our recent results on periodic homogenization for non-local, stable-like operators. Both qualitative and quantitative results will be discussed. Moreover, we will explore quantitative periodic homogenization on bounded domains, where the rate of convergence near the boundary slows down

Analysis on Metric Spaces Seminar 2025 | Recent development in bilinear rough singular integrals, Professor Bae Jun Park Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon, South Korea
Abstract:
In this talk we will study the Lp1 × Lp2 → Lp boundedness for bilinear rough singular integral operators LΩ associated with Ω ∈ L(log L)α(S2n−1) with mean value zero. We will first review classical linear singular integrals and then study how the results have been extended and developed in the bilinear setting, presenting the most recent results. If time permits, general multilinear problems will be also discussed
