Analysis & Probability Seminar at Chalmers / GU
The seminar is joint for the division of Analysis and Probability within the Department of Mathematics at Chalmers / GU. Its main themes include: Probability Theory, Mathematical Physics, Operator Algebras and Harmonic and Functional Analysis.
Should you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to email one of the organizers Jakob Björnberg (jakobbj 'at' chalmers.se), Simon Larson (larsons 'at' chalmers.se) or Eduard Vilalta (vilalta 'at' chalmers.se).
Instructions for invited speakers:
The seminar caters to a broad audience in analysis and probability. We thus urge speakers to make the first 10-15 minutes of the talk very introductory, aimed at first-year graduate students. The total time for the seminar is 50 minutes plus 10 minutes for questions.

Pure C*-algebras
In his seminal investigation of Z-stability for simple, nuclear C*-algebras, Winter introduced the notion of (m,n)-pureness with m and n quantifying comparison and divisibility properties in the Cuntz semigroup, and he showed that every simple C*-algebra that has locally finite nuclear dimension and that is (m,n)-pure for some m and n is Z-stable. Combined with the result of Roerdam that every Z-stable C*-algebra is pure (that is, (0,0)-pure, which means that its Cuntz semigroup has the strongest comparison and divisibility properties), this provides a situation where (m,n)-pureness implies pureness.
In a recent paper with R. Antoine, F. Perera and L. Robert, we removed the assumption of locally finite nuclear dimension and showed that every simple, (m,n)-pure C*-algebra is pure. In this work we generalize the result even further by showing that (m,n)-pureness implies pureness in general.
As an application we show that every C*-algebra with the Global Glimm Property and finite nuclear dimension is pure.
This is joint work with R. Antoine, F. Perera, and E. Vilalta

A two-table theorem for a disordered version of the Chinese restaurant process (CRP)
In this joint work with Jakob Björnberg, Peter Mörters and Daniel Ueltschi, we introduce a disordered version of the CRP in which tables have different weights (or fitnesses). When a new customer enters the restaurant, they choose to open a new table with probability proportional to a parameter $\theta$, or they sit at an occupied table with probability proportional to the weight of this table times the number of customers already sitting at this table. We show that, in this model, in probability, a proportion converging to one of all customers sit at the largest table. We also show that this is not true almost surely, but prove instead that, almost surely, a proportion converging to one of all customers sit at one of the two largest tables.

Coerciveness and Morrey inequalities for elliptic operators with natural boundary conditions via Weitzenböck identities
We prove a Weitzenböck identity for general pairs of constant-coefficient homogeneous first-order partial differential operators, and deduce from it sufficient algebraic conditions for coerciveness and Morrey estimates under the natural 1/2 boundary conditions. Our proof of the $W^{1,2}$ elliptic estimate relies on the Aronszajn-Ne{\u c}as-Smith coercive estimate. For generalized strongly pseudoconvex domains, we improve the Morrey estimate to a weighted $W^{1,2}$ square function estimate, using a generalized Cauchy--Pompeiu reproducing formula and the $T1$ theorem for singular integrals. We use Van Schaftingen's notion of cocanceling to study the generalized Levi forms appearing. This is joint work with Erik Duse, FOI.

Towards a Floquet Theory for Periodic Jacobi Matrices on Trees
Periodic Jacobi matrices on the line have a very rich spectral theory, one of whose ingredients is the Floquet theory of eigenfunctions. In this talk we will discuss ongoing work that attempts to generalize this theory to more general trees. We will describe some results obtained in joint works with Jess Banks, Jorge Garza Vargas, Eyal Seelig and Barry Simon.
