Below is the tentative schedule of speakers for this semester. Titles and abstracts will be updated each week.
August 28 – Organizational Meeting
September 11
Speaker: Billy Duckworth
Title: A Tour of Filters in Analysis
"We will cover the definition of a filter, the two main intuitions behind them, and some basic properties of filters. Then, we will go on a quick, high-level tour of some uses of them in analysis such as simplifying notation, compactifying/completing spaces, and generalizing limits. There will be a quiz later, so take notes!"
September 18
Speaker: Billy Duckworth
Title: The Analysis Extended Universe (part 1)
"A common motif throughout mathematics is passing to extended spaces. If we cannot solve a problem because there is no solution or we cannot find one, we simply expand our search area to make sure that we can. Obviously, these extensions need to be done in a controlled way to give us information about the original problem. That is where monads enter the picture! Ubiquotous in algebra, monads are largely overlooked in analysis even though they are lurking in several of our common constructions. This talk will bring these into the light and show how they help organize results and generate interesting questions."
