 ract\nNot even influence inequalities for Boolean functions can escape the
  long arm of stochastic processes. I will present a (relatively) natural s
 tochastic process which turns Boolean functions and their derivatives into
  jump-process martingales. There is much to profit from analyzing the indi
 vidual paths of these processes: Using stopping times and level inequaliti
 es\, we will reprove an inequality of Talagrand relating edge boundaries a
 nd the influences\, and say something about functions which almost saturat
 e the inequality. The technique (mostly) bypasses hypercontractivity. Work

 ing: Box condition versus Chang--Fefferman condition</a>\nby Alexander Vol
 berg (Michigan State University) as part of Probability and Analysis Webin
 ar\n\n\nAbstract\nCarleson embedding theorem is a building block for many 
 singular integral operators and the main instrument in proving ``Leibniz r
 ule" for fractional derivatives (Kato--Ponce\, Kenig). It is also an essen
 tial step in all known ``corona theorems’’. Multi-parameter embedding 
 is a tool to prove more complicated Leibniz rules that are also widely use
 d in well-posedness questions for various PDEs. Alternatively\, multi-para
 meter embedding appear naturally in questions of embedding of spaces of an
 alytic functions in polydisc into Lebesgue spaces with respect to a measur
 e in the polydisc. \n\nCarleson embedding theorems often serve as a first 
 building block for interpolation in complex space and also for corona type
  results. The embedding of spaces of holomorphic functions on n-polydisc c
 an be reduced  (without loss of information) to  the boundedness of weight
 ed multi-parameter dyadic Carleson embedding. We  find the necessary and s
 ufficient  condition for this Carleson embedding in n-parameter case\, whe
 n n is 1\, 2\, or 3.  The main tool is the harmonic analysis on graphs wit
 h cycles. The answer is quite unexpected and seemingly goes against the we
 ll known difference between box and Chang--Fefferman condition that was gi
 ven by Carleson quilts example of 1974. I will present results obtained jo
 intly by Arcozzi\, Holmes\, Mozolyako\, Psaromiligkos\, Zorin-Kranich and 
 myself.\n

 ls</a>\nby Nicholas Cook (Duke University) as part of Probability and Anal
 ysis Webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe consider the restriction to the unit circle
  of random degree-n polynomials with iid coefficients (Kac polynomials). R
 ecent work of Yakir and Zeitouni shows that for Gaussian coefficients\, th
 e minimum modulus (suitably rescaled) follows a limiting exponential distr
 ibution. We show this is a universal phenomenon\, extending their result t
 o arbitrary sub-Gaussian coefficients\, such as Rademacher signs. Our appr
 oach relates the joint distribution of small values at several angles to t
 hat of a random walk in high-dimensional phase space\, for which we obtain
  strong central limit theorems. The case of discrete coefficients is parti
 cularly challenging as the distribution is then sensitive to arithmetic st
 ructure among the angles. Based on joint work with Hoi Nguyen.\n

 of the classical Poincaré inequality on the Hamming cube with numerous ap
 plications to Boolean analysis\, discrete probability theory and geometric
  functional analysis. In this talk\, we shall introduce a metric space-val
 ued version of Talagrand's inequality and show its validity for some natur
 al classes of spaces. Emphasis will be given to the probabilistic aspects 
 of the proofs. We will also explain a geometric application of this metric
  invariant to the bi-Lipschitz embeddability of a natural family of finite
  metrics and mention related open problems. The talk is based on joint wor

 s</a>\nby Stanislaw Szarek (Case Western Reserve University/Sorbonne Unive
 rsite) as part of Probability and Analysis Webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nGenerali
 zed Probabilistic Theories (GPTs) form an abstract framework to describe t
 heories of nature that have probabilistic features. A GPT must specify the
  set of states purporting to represent the physical reality\, the allowabl
 e measurements\, the rules for outcome statistics of the latter\, and the 
 composition rules describing what happens when we merge subsystems and cre
 ate a larger system.  Examples include classical probability and quantum t
 heory.\nThe composition rules alluded to above usually involve tensor prod
 ucts and\, in some formulations\, normed spaces.  Among tensor products of
  normed spaces that have operational meaning in the GPT context\, the proj
 ective and the injective product are the extreme ones\, which leads to the
  natural question  "How much do they differ?"  considered already by Groth
 endieck and Pisier (in the 1950s and 1980s).  Surprisingly\, no systematic
  quantitative analysis of the finite-dimensional case seems to have ever b
 een made. We show that the projective/injective discrepancy is always lowe
 r-bounded by the power of the (smaller) dimension\, with the exponent depe
 nding on the generality of the setup. Some of the results are essentially 
 optimal\, but others can be likely improved. The methods involve a wide ra
 nge of techniques from geometry of Banach spaces and random matrices.\nJoi

 e of Mathematics and University of Szeged) as part of Probability and Anal
 ysis Webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nIt is a classical question to study the length
  of the longest monotone increasing subsequence in a random permutation on
  n elements\, which has been studied for over half a century. From the geo
 metric viewpoint\, the question asks for the maximal number of points in a
  random sample of n uniform\, independent points in a unit square which fo
 rm an increasing chain. Based on this geometric intuition\, one may study 
 the maximal number of points (called the length) which form a convex chain
 \, along with two fixed vertices of the unit square. In a joint work with 
 Imre Bárány\, we determined the asymptotic order of magnitude of the len
 gth of the longest convex chain\, proved strong concentration estimates an
 d a limit shape result. In a recent work\, I studied the analogous questio
 n for higher order convexity\, and managed to determine the expected lengt
 h in this case as well (which turns out to be very aesthetic)\, along with
  concentration properties. In the talk I will give a survey of these resul
 ts and present several open questions and further research directions.\n

 robability and Analysis Webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nIn the 80’s Dahlberg aske
 d two questions regarding the `$L^p$ – solvability’ of elliptic equati
 ons with variable coefficients. Dahlberg’s first question was whether $L
 ^p$ solvability was maintained under `Carleson-perturbations’ of the coe
 fficients. This question was answered by Fefferman\, Kenig and Pipher [FKP
 ]\, where they also introduced new characterizations of $A_\\infty$\, reve
 rse-Hölder and $A_p$ weights. These characterizations were used to create
  a counterexample to show their theorem was sharp.\n \nDahlberg’s second
  question was whether a Carleson gradient/oscillation condition (the `DKP 
 condition’) was enough to imply $L^p$ solvability for some p > 1. This w
 as answered by Kenig and Pipher [KP] and refined by Dindos\, Petermichl an
 d Pipher [DPP] (in the `small constant’ case).  These $L^p$ solvability 
 results can be interpreted in terms of a reverse Hölder condition for the
  elliptic kernel and therefore connected with the $A_\\infty$ condition. I
 n this talk\, we discuss L^p solvability for a class of coefficients that 
 satisfies a `weak DKP condition’. In particular\, we connect the (weak) 
 DKP condition to the characterization of $A_\\infty$ in [FKP]. This allows
  us to treat the `large’\, `small’ and ‘vanishing’ (weak) DKP cond
 itions simultaneously and independently from the works [KP] and [DPP]. \n 
 \nThis is joint work with my co-authors Egert\, Saari\, Toro and Zhao. A p
 roof of the main estimate will be sketched\, but technical details will be
  avoided.\n

  as part of Probability and Analysis Webinar\n\n\nAbstract\nAsymptotic fre
 eness of independent Haar distributed unitary matrices was discovered by V
 oiculescu. Many refinements have been obtained\, including strong asymptot
 ic freeness of random unitaries and strong asymptotic freeness of random p
 ermutations acting on the orthogonal of the Perron-Frobenius eigenvector. 
 In this talk\, we consider a new matrix unitary model appearing naturally 
 from representation theory of compact groups. We fix a non-trivial signatu
 re\, i.e. two finite sequences of non-increasing natural numbers\, and for
  n large enough\, consider the irreducible representation of Un associated
  to this signature. We show that strong asymptotic freeness holds in this 
 generalized context when drawing independent copies of the Haar measure. W
 e also obtain the orthogonal variant of this result. This is a joint work 
 with Benoît Collins.\n

 haracterization we are able to obtain some fundamental results of the oper

 able set $W$ such that $\\{W + \\gamma: \\gamma \\in \\Gamma\\}$ and $\\{A

 n-obvious generalization of the one found by Ionascu and Wang\, which solv
 ed the problem in the case  $n = 2$.  As an application of our condition a
 nd a theorem of Margulis\, we also strengthen a result of Dai\, Larson\, a
 nd the second author on the existence of wavelet sets by showing that wave
 let sets exist for matrix dilations\, all of whose eigenvalues $\\lambda$ 
 satisfy $|\\lambda| \\ge 1$. As another application\, we show that the Ion
 ascu-Wang characterization characterizes those dilations whose product of 
 two smallest eigenvalues in absolute value is $\\ge 1$.\n> Based on a join

 ch geometric problems underpin the behaviour of various important oscillat
 ory integral operators and\, consequently\, understanding the Kakeya conje
 cture is a vital step towards many central problems in harmonic analysis. 
 In this talk I will discuss work with K. Rogers and R. Zhang which apply t
 ools from the theory of semialgebraic sets to yield new partial results on
  the Kakeya conjecture. Also\, more recent work with J. Zahl has used thes

  began with card shuffling. Diaconis and Shahshahani studied the random tr
 anspositions shuffle\; pick two cards uniformly at random and swap them. T
 hey introduced a Fourier analysis technique to prove that it takes $1/2 n 
 \\log n$ steps to shuffle a deck of $n$ cards this way. Recently\, Teyssie
 r extended this technique to study the exact shape of the total variation 
 distance of the transition matrix at the cutoff time from the stationary m
 easure\, giving rise to the notion of a limit profile. In this talk\, I am
  planning to discuss a joint work with Olesker-Taylor\,  which extends the
  above technique from conjugacy invariant random walks to general\, revers
 ible Markov chains. I will also present a new technique that allows to stu
 dy the limit profile of star transpositions\, which turns out to have the 
 same limit profile as random transpositions.\n

 </a>\nby Diogo Oliveira e Silva (Instituto Superior Técnico\, Lisboa) as

 t progress concerning two distinct problems in sharp restriction theory to
  the unit sphere.\nFirstly\, the classical estimate of Agmon-Hörmander fo
 r the adjoint restriction operator to the sphere is in general not saturat
 ed by constants. We describe the surprising intermittent behaviour exhibit
 ed by the optimal constant and the space of maximizers\, both for the ineq
 uality itself and for a stable form thereof.\nSecondly\, the Stein-Tomas i
 nequality on the sphere is rigid in the following rather strong sense: con
 stants continue to maximize the weighted inequality as long as the perturb
 ation is sufficiently small and regular\, in a precise sense to be discuss
 ed. We present several examples highlighting why such assumptions are natu
 ral\, and describe some consequences to the (mostly unexplored) higher dim
 ensional setting.\nThis talk is based on joint work with E. Carneiro and G

 consider the structured Gaussian matrix G_A=(a_{ij}g_{ij})\, where g_{ij}'
 s are independent standard Gaussian variables. The exact behavior of the s
 pectral norm of the structured Gaussian matrix is known due to the result 
 of Latala\, van Handel\, and Youssef from 2018. We are interested in two-s
 ided bounds for the expected value of the norm of G_A treated as an operat
 or from l_p^n to l_q^m. We conjecture the sharp estimates expressed only i
 n the terms of the coefficients a_{ij}'s. We confirm the conjectured lower
  bound up to the constant depending only on p and q\, and the upper bound 
 up to the multiplicative constant depending linearly on a certain (small) 
 power of ln(mn). This is joint work with Radoslaw Adamczak\, Joscha Prochn

 5/">On a reversal of Lyapunov's inequality for log-concave sequences</a>\n
 by James Melbourne (CIMAT) as part of Probability and Analysis Webinar\n\n
 \nAbstract\nLog-concave sequences appear naturally in a variety of fields.
  For example in convex geometry the Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities demons
 trate the intrinsic volumes of a convex body to be log-concave\, while in 
 combinatorics the resolution of the Mason conjecture shows that the number
  of independent sets of size n in a matroid form a log-concave sequence as
  well. By Lyapunov's inequality we refer to  the log-convexity of the (p-t
 h power) of the L^p norm of a function with respect to an arbitrary measur
 e\, an immediate consequence of Holder's inequality. In the continuous set
 ting measure spaces satisfying concavity conditions are known to satisfy a
  sort of concavity reversal of both Lyapunov's inequality\, due to Borell\
 , while the Prekopa-Leindler inequality gives a reversal of Holder.  These
  inequalities are foundational in convex geometry\, give Renyi entropy com
 parisons in information theory\, the Gaussian log-Sobolev inequality\, and
  more generally the HWI inequality in optimal transport among other applic
 ations.  An analogous theory has been developing in the discrete setting. 
  In this talk we establish a reversal of Lyapunov's inequality for monoton
 e log-concave sequences\, settling a conjecture of Havrilla-Tkocz and Melb
 ourne-Tkocz. A strengthened version of the same conjecture is disproved th
 rough counter-examples.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://stable.researchseminars.org/talk/paw/5
 6/">Matrix-valued logarithmic Sobolev inequalities</a>\nby Haojian Li (Bay
 lor University) as part of Probability and Analysis Webinar\n\n\nAbstract\
 nLogarithmic Sobolev inequalities (LSI)  first were introduced by Gross in
  1970s as an equivalent formulation of hypercontractivity. LSI have been w
 ell studied in the past few decades and found applications to information 
 theory\, optimal transport\, and graphs theory. Recently matrix-valued LSI
  have been an active area of research. Matrix-valued LSI of Lindblad opera
 tors are closely related to decoherence of open quantum systems.  In this 
 talk\, I will present recent results on matrix-valued LSI\, in particular 
 a geometric approach to matrix-valued LSI of Lindblad operators. This talk
  is based on joint work with Li Gao\, Marius Junge\, and Nicholas LaRacuen
 te.\n
