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 Malin Palö Forsström (palo 'at' chalmers.se), Simon Larson (larsons 'at' chalmers.se) or Spyros Petrakos (petrakos '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.

On the maximal operator in a nonsymmetric inverse Gaussian setting
The Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator is a partial differential operator in R^n. We modify it by letting the drift go outwards instead of inwards. As a basic, underlying measure one then takes, instead of a Gaussian measure, its inverse, which is a measure with a density like exp (|x|^2). It is now natural to form the corresponding semigroup and ask which properties of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck semigroup carry over to this ”inverse” semigroup. We start answering this question by showing that the maximal operator of the semigroup is bounded on L^p, 1 < p < ∞, with respect to the inverse Gaussian measure, and of weak type 1,1.
