Math 565 - Harmonic Analysis

The course will center in the study of basic and widely used operators on L^p spaces that are treated by means of harmonic analysis. The operators to be considered include multipliers and singular operators (for instance, Hilbert transform), and the techniques involved include interpolation and stopping time argument.
 
Prerequisites: (introduction to) analysis and linear algebra are required; either Math 563 (measure theory) or Math 472/572 (Fourier analysis and wavelets) is desirable. Concepts and results of measure theory and Fourier analysis will be introduced as necessary.
