Propagation of singularities for the Schrodinger equation. The time-dependent Schrodinger equation governs the evolution of quantum particles. In this project we aim to use new techniques from mathematical scattering theory to analyse solutions of the Schrodinger equation and obtain sharp bounds on their singularities. Controlling such singularities will allow us to deduce quantitative bounds on the number of eigenvalues in certain situations, and provide new techniques for studying nonlinear Sc ....Propagation of singularities for the Schrodinger equation.

HARMONIC ANALYSIS, BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS, AND MAXWELL'S EQUATIONS IN LIPSCHITZ DOMAINS. Boundary value problems for partial differential equations arise naturally when physical problems are expressed in mathematical terms. This project concerns the systematic development of the harmonic analysis of partial differential operators, and of the corresponding boundary integrals in order to solve such problems on irregular regions.

Boundary value problems for partial differential equations arise naturally when physical problems are expressed in mathematical terms. This project concerns the systematic development of the harmonic analysis of partial differential operators, and of the corresponding boundary integrals in order to solve such problems on irregular regions. Particular emphasis is given to studying the behaviour of electromagnetic waves both inside and outside irregularly shaped surfaces, and their propagation through it.Read moreRead less
Functional and harmonic analysis of function spaces: synthesis, development and applications. Recent advances in mathematics are on the borderlines of its branches. This interdisciplinary project develops and binds the research areas attracting growing interest of prominent mathematicians during the last 30 years because of not only its theoretical value, but also its ties with the key equations describing a multitude of physical phenomena and the theoretical foundation of numerical methods.

This interdisciplinary project develops and binds the research areas attracting growing interest of prominent mathematicians during the last 30 years because of not only its theoretical value, but also its ties with the key equations describing a multitude of physical phenomena and the theoretical foundation of numerical methods. The Euler, Helmholtz, Lamb, Navier-Stokes and acoustic equations, studied in terms of function spaces, govern incompressible viscous fluid flows and wave propagations. Contributing to both pure mathematics and, particularly, Short-Term Tsunami Prediction, the project will enhance Australia's research reputation.Read moreRead less
Quantum chaos and scattering theory. The project will involve mathematical research of the highest international standard, as well as research training of postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers, in a very active and far-reaching field. Progress in this field will have implications in areas ranging from engineering (e.g. nanotechnology, quantum computing) and mathematical analysis (e.g. theory of partial differential equations) through to number theory.
The Spectral Theory and Harmonic Analysis of Geometric Differential Operators. The project will involve mathematical research of the highest international standard in two very active and far-reaching field of mathematics: quantum chaos, and harmonic analysis. Progress in these fields will have implications in areas such as communications technology (e.g. image compression), quantum theory, and mathematical analysis (e.g. partial differential equations).

Boundedness of Singular integral operators and applications to Bochner-Riesz summability, Riesz transforms, and Hardy spaces. We aim to develop harmonic analysis methods to study singular integral operators and function spaces associated to these operators. We propose to study the long standing problem of convergence of Bochner-Riesz means in Fourier analysis, and investigate differential operators with non-smooth coefficients acting on rough domains, or acting on general spaces like manifolds. ....Boundedness of Singular integral operators and applications to Bochner-Riesz summability, Riesz transforms, and Hardy spaces.

We propose to study the long standing problem of convergence of Bochner-Riesz means in Fourier analysis, and investigate differential operators with non-smooth coefficients acting on rough domains, or acting on general spaces like manifolds. Expected outcomes are new techniques in harmonic analysis to be developed, with applications being solutions to a number of open problems in the theories of harmonic analysis, partial differential equations and function spaces.Read moreRead less
