This project aims to develop theoretical results and practical techniques in the study of Partial Differential Equations. Harmonic analysis is used to study these equations; in which a system’s local behaviour is used to analyse global properties, using techniques such as the Fourier transform. The project will investigate central problems in the area, revealing deep connections between analysis and geometry, and apply these to study the solutions’ long-term behaviour to non-linear equations. Expected outcomes include theoretical results and practical techniques to solve non-linear dispersive equations, which arise in quantum and fluid mechanics.Read moreRead less

Nonlinear harmonic analysis and dispersive partial differential equations. This proposal is devoted to linear and nonlinear harmonic analysis. It aims to unify the most significant attributes of harmonic analysis such as restriction estimates, dispersive properties of differential operators, spectral multipliers, uniform Sobolev estimates and sharp Weyl formula.

Geometric Group Theory. Groups arise naturally as symmetries of geometric objects. Often groups have an interesting geometric structure obtained by thinking of these geometric objects coursely. This project aims to study the subgroup structure of such groups and obtain homological, geometric and algorithmic information. It further investigates natural decompositions of groups with geometric structure along special subgroups so that the factors have simpler properties.{P
