Abstract:
Starting from Kaufman's work in 1968 and Falconer's
in 1982 on orthogonal projections of general Borel sets, there have been
many applications of the Fourier transform to geometric problems
involving Hausdorff dimension.
About the Series: The lecture series is in honour of Prof. U. B. Tewari (1944-2019) for his outstanding contributions in mathematics. This annual event is generously established by his family, friends, and former students. Each year, a distinguished mathematician is invited to deliver a comprehensive short course consisting of 4-5 lectures spread over a two-week period in a forefront area of Mathematics. This year's lecture is the third in the series, and it includes a short course designed to engage researchers and graduate students. All the lectures will be in hybrid mode.

About the Speaker:
Pertti
Mattila is a Finnish mathematician and a leading figure in geometric
measure theory and fractal geometry. His pioneering contributions
continue to influence ongoing research and shape the future directions
of harmonic analysis, complex analysis, and geometric measure theory. He
has explored the geometric and measure-theoretic properties of fractal
sets, contributing significantly to the development of this rich and
intricate field. Mattila is the author of several influential books and
numerous research papers. His books "Geometry of Sets and Measures in
Euclidean Spaces: Fractals and Rectifiability" and "Fourier Analysis and
Hausdorff Dimension" are widely cited. |
