Titles and abstracts:

Jonathan Bennett (University of Birmingham)
The Brascamp–Lieb inequalities and their adjoints

The Brascamp–Lieb inequalities are a generalisation of a range of important classical inequalities in mathematics.
They include some very familiar inequalities, such as the Cauchy–Schwarz, Holder, and Young
convolution inequalities. In addition to having a rich mathematical structure, the theory developed since
their introduction in the 1970s has had far-reaching applications, from harmonic analysis to information
theory, partial differential equations, number theory, combinatorial geometry, and even theoretical
computer science. In this talk we give an introduction to the Brascamp–Lieb inequalities, and present
a recent adjoint formulation that has found some unexpected applications to the theory of tomographic
transforms (such as the X-ray and Radon transforms). These recent developments are joint work with
Terence Tao.

Oana Ivanovici (Sorbonne Université)
Geometry and analysis for waves on domains

Christopher D. Sogge (Johns Hopkins University)
Curvature and harmonic analysis on compact manifolds

We shall explore the role that curvature plays in harmonic analysis on compact manifolds. We shall focus
on estimates that measure the concentration of eigenfunctions. Using them we can affirm the
classical Bohr correspondence principle and obtain a new classification of compact space forms in terms
of the growth rates of various norms of (approximate) eigenfunctions.

This is joint work with Xiaoqi Huang following earlier work with Matthew Blair.
