Geometric analysis on non-compact and singular spaces. The project will involve mathematical research of international stature in an effervescent field: geometric analysis on singular spaces. Different points of view will be used, stimulating in this way fruitful interactions between analysis and geometry which will lead to striking new relationships as well as implications in physics and engineering.
Harmonic analysis in rough contexts. Harmonic analysis is a set of mathematical techniques aimed at decomposing complex signals into simple pieces in a way that is reminiscent of the decomposition of sounds into harmonics. It is highly efficient in analysing signals in homogeneous media such as wave propagation through the air that underpins wireless communication technology. However, wave propagation through inhomogeneous media, such as the human body in medical imaging or the Earth in geophysi ....Harmonic analysis in rough contexts. Harmonic analysis is a set of mathematical techniques aimed at decomposing complex signals into simple pieces in a way that is reminiscent of the decomposition of sounds into harmonics. It is highly efficient in analysing signals in homogeneous media such as wave propagation through the air that underpins wireless communication technology. However, wave propagation through inhomogeneous media, such as the human body in medical imaging or the Earth in geophysical imaging, is much harder to model. Phenomena with random components, as considered in finance for instance, are also problematic. This project is an important part of an intense international research effort to develop harmonic analysis in such rough contexts.Read moreRead less
Harmonic analysis of rough oscillations. This project intends to explore new perspectives in harmonic analysis. Harmonic analysis is a set of mathematical techniques used in many branches of science and engineering to analyse complex signals (functions). It is highly effective in modelling phenomena such as the propagation of electromagnetic waves, but it is currently limited to propagation occurring in a simple-enough medium.

Harmonic analysis is a set of mathematical techniques used in many branches of science and engineering to analyse complex signals (functions). It is highly effective in modelling phenomena such as the propagation of electromagnetic waves, but it is currently limited to propagation occurring in a simple-enough medium. An intense international research effort in harmonic analysis is currently under way to lift this limitation. This project is part of that effort, and aims to unite two of its fundamental directions of development: one focusing on the roughness of the medium; and one focusing on the interaction between highly oscillatory aspects of the function and the geometry of the medium.Read moreRead less
Harmonic analysis of differential operators in Banach spaces. This proposal aims to develop harmonic analysis (the mathematical tools used in digital music and photography) in new contexts. It focuses on boundary value problems (the theory behind medical or geological imaging) and stochastic equations (which describe phenomena with random components such as the behaviour of financial markets).
