Grant Awards
Professors Catherine Beneteau and Dmitry Khavinson received a $42,500 conference grant from the National Science Foundation to support U.S. participation in the conference 鈥淗armonic and Complex Analysis: Modern and Classical鈥� to be held in Israel, June 18-22, 2023, at Bar Ilan University. The conference will be jointly organized by a group of scientists from Bar-Ilan University, Holon Institute of Technology, ORT Braude College, Tel Aviv University, and the University of South Florida in the US. This event follows in the footsteps of a series of conferences on Complex Analysis, Harmonic Analysis, and Dynamical Systems that have been held in Israel for the last couple of decades and have become popular meeting places for analysts from all over the world. The topics chosen for the conference are exciting and currently emerging themes on the borderline between mathematics and physics. Areas of research of the plenary speakers include: (1) Study of localization of eigen modes of elliptic operators, which unites deep results in geometric measure theory and harmonic analysis with modern applications to quantum physics, noise abatement walls, LEDs, and optical devices; (2) Research in harmonic analysis that has well-developed connections to medical imaging; (3) Exciting recent work in stochastic algebraic geometry and gravitational lensing; (4) Classical harmonic analysis with applications to probability theory; (5) Classical complex analysis and function theory, with new lines of attack on some of the well-known problems in mathematical physics, such as Hele-Shaw flows, Laplacian growth, and investigation of Coloumb gas.
