Erik Koelink<\/strong><\/div>\n
Title: Matrix valued orthogonal polynomials related to SU(n+1)<\/em><\/div>\n
Abstract: The relation between representation theory and special functions is a fundamental one. Multivariable<\/em>
\nfunctions occuring as characters on $SU(n+1)$, which are Chebyshev polynomials for $n=1$, can be realised as spherical functions. The spherical functions are interpreted on the product group $G=SU(n+1) \\times SU(n+1)$ with the diagonal subgroup $K$ as the fixed points of the involution that flips the order in the product. Now the spherical functions can be interpreted as functions on $G$ that are left and right invariant with respect to $K$. Upon replacing the left and right invariance with respect to $K$ by another, nontrivial, representation we obtain matrix valued spherical functions.<\/em>
\nFrom these matrix valued spherical functions we show how to build matrix valued multivariable orthogonal polynomials. The number of variables is $n$ and the size of the matrix is of specific size, but can become arbitrarily large. For the cases $n=2$, $n=3$ we state some explicit cases, and in case of $n=2$ we obtain matrix valued analogues of Koornwinder’s orthogonal polynomials on Steiner’s hypocycloid.<\/em>

Title: A rational approach for solving a class of equilibrium problems in potential theory<\/em><\/div>\n
Abstract:\u00a0We are interested in computing the unknown density of an equilibrium<\/em>
\nproblem in logarithmic potential theory where the support of the<\/em>
\nequilibrium measure is a finite union of distinct intervals. Inspired by<\/em>
\na Riemann-Hilbert approach, we reduce the problem to the solution of<\/em>
\na system of singular integral equations with Cauchy kernels.<\/em>
\nAfter briefly recalling the well studied polynomial approach , we will<\/em>
\nbe interested in considering rational approximations of the solutions,<\/em>
\nexpressed in a basis of orthogonal rational functions with prescribed<\/em>
\npoles. This new approach ensures stable computations. These approximations<\/em>
\nsatisfy some interpolatory conditions. Inspired by the third<\/em>
\nZolotareff problem, the poles and the interpolation points are chosen<\/em>
\nin such a way that we can ensure small errors. We will also discuss a<\/em>
\nlink with recent performant algorithms like the multipole method.<\/em>
\nFinally our new error estimates will be confirmed by numerical<\/em>
\nresults.<\/em>

Title: Sharp estimates for H\u00f6\u200brmander-type operators<\/em><\/div>\n
Abstract: The restriction conjecture, lying at the heart of\u00a0harmonic analysis, suggests that the Fourier transform of a function defined on a curved surface “behaves better” than if the domain surface was flat.\u00a0H\u00f6rmander\u00a0further suggested that oscillatory integrals more general than the Fourier transform should satisfy similar properties. However, Bourgain showed that this is false, as the mass of these more general oscillatory integrals may cluster too close to low-degree algebraic varieties, and thus, roughly speaking, can have too many peaks in little space.\u00a0In this talk we describe the extent to which\u00a0H\u00f6\u200brmander\u200b’s conjecture was correct, by providing sharp estimates for\u00a0H\u00f6\u200brmander\u200b\u200b-type oscillatory integrals that resemble the oscillatory integrals related to the restriction conjecture. This is joint work with\u00a0L. Guth and J. Hickman.<\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Title: The lower tail of the KPZ equation via a Riemann-Hilbert approach<\/em><\/div>\n
\n

Abstract:\u00a0Fredholm determinants associated to deformations of the Airy kernel are closely connected to the solution to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation with narrow wedge initial data, and they also appear as largest particle distribution in models of positive-temperature free fermions.<\/em>We show that logarithmic derivatives of the Fredholm determinants can be expressed in terms of a $2\\times 2$ Riemann-Hilbert problem, and we use this to derive asymptotics for the Fredholm determinants. As an application of our result, we derive precise lower tail asymptotics for the solution of the KPZ equation with narrow wedge initial data, thus refining recent results by Corwin and Ghosal.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Title: Orthogonal polynomials in the complex plane and Gaussian quadrature<\/div>\n
\n

Abstract:\u00a0Gaussian quadrature is a prominent application of orthogonal polynomials in numerical analysis. Gaussian quadrature rules offer the highest rate of convergence when numerically approximating an integral, relative to the number of function evaluations of the integrand. In this talk we consider specific cases that feature integrals with non-positive weight functions. In that setting, there is no guarantee that the corresponding orthogonal polynomials exist. If they do, then their roots may lie in the complex plane rather than inside the interval of integration. Nevertheless, we show that the beneficial order of convergence for the numerical evaluation of the integrals is preserved. In fact, for some highly oscillatory integrals, orthogonal polynomials are asymptotically optimal in a way that we will describe.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
