An introduction to geometric functional analysis

Student-Run Research Seminar

Speaker: Roman Vershynin, UC Davis
Location: 693 Kerr
Start time: Wed, Dec 3 2003, 12:10PM

This is an introductory lecture about the central topics and open directions in geometric functional analysis. It is a 30 year old field that lies on a crossroad of convex geometry, probability, functional analysis and combinatorics. For each of these fields, we will see some of the related major results or open problems in geometric functional analysis.
