GAPS
The Graduate Analysis and PDEs Seminar (GAPS) is intended to build community for graduate students in the different subfields of analysis and PDEs. The goal is to give accessible talks about your current research projects, papers you found interesting on the arXiv, or even just a theorem/result that you use and think is really cool!
We currently meet Wednesdays, 1:20pm-2:10pm, in Van Vleck 901. Cookies are provided. If you have any questions, please email the organizers: Summer Al Hamdani (alhamdani (at) wisc.edu) and Allison Byars (abyars (at) wisc.edu).
To join the mailing list, send an email to: gaps+subscribe@g-groups.wisc.edu.

September 11. Jake Fiedler, Projection theorems in geometric measure theory.
Abstract: Geometric measure theory (GMT) investigates how certain geometric properties of sets or operations on sets affect their size. Orthogonal projections are one such operation, and have been closely studied in this context for many years. Marstrand's projection theorem is the most prominent result of this type and states that for any (reasonable) set, the projections of that set in almost every direction have maximal Hausdorff dimension. We will introduce some of the main ideas of GMT, discuss Marstrand's projection theorem and other projection results, and begin to explore some new tools that have enabled recent progress in this area. This is the first of two talks.
The second talk will happen on September 13th, at 1:20pm-2:10pm in VV B235 during the Graduate Analysis Seminar:
Title: Universal sets for projections
Abstract: In this talk, we will consider certain variants of Marstrand's projection theorem that hold for classes of sets in the plane. In particular, we will examine the class of sets with optimal oracles, the class of weakly regular sets, and the class of Ahlfors-David regular sets. This is the second of two talks and is based on joint work with Don Stull.
