Fourier Analysis For/And Partial Differential Equations

Project description

Harmonic analysis at the interface of Fourier analysis and partial differential equations

Harmonics are oscillations of a signal in time with a frequency that is a positive integer multiple of a so-called fundamental frequency. Examples of simple harmonic motion include an oscillating pendulum and a vibrating guitar string or eardrum. Harmonic analysis decomposes harmonic motion, determining the individual harmonics that together create the final waveform. Fourier analysis, expressing a complex wave as a sum of sines and cosines, and partial differential equations (PDEs) are essential tools in the study of harmonics. The European Research Council-funded FAnFArE project will study problems at the interface of Fourier analysis and PDEs, advancing theories relating to frequencies, oscillation and space-time resonances in a systematic way.

Objective

"This project aims to develop the field of Harmonic Analysis, and more precisely to study problems at the interface between Fourier Analysis and PDEs (and also some Geometry).
We are interested in two aspects of the Fourier Analysis :

(1) The Euclidean Fourier Analysis, where a deep analysis can be performed using specificities as the notion of ``frequencies'' (involving the Fourier transform) or the geometry of the Euclidean balls. By taking advantage of them, this proposal aims to pursue the study and bring novelties in three fashionable topics : the study of bilinear/multilinear Fourier multipliers, the development of the ``space-time resonances'' method in a systematic way and for some specific PDEs, and the study of nonlinear transport equations in BMO-type spaces (as Euler and Navier-Stokes equations).

(2) A Functional Fourier Analysis, which can be performed in a more general situation using the notion of ``oscillation'' adapted to a heat semigroup (or semigroup of operators). This second Challenge is (at the same time) independent of the first one and also very close. It is very close, due to the same point of view of Fourier Analysis involving a space decomposition and simultaneously some frequency decomposition. However they are quite independent because the main goal is to extend/develop an analysis in the more general framework given by a semigroup of operators (so without using the previous Euclidean specificities). By this way, we aim to transfer some results known in the Euclidean situation to some Riemannian manifolds, Fractals sets, bounded open set setting, ... Still having in mind some applications to the study of PDEs, such questions make also a connexion with the geometry of the ambient spaces (by its Riesz transform, Poincaré inequality, ...). I propose here to attack different problems as dispersive estimates, ""L^p""-version of De Giorgi inequalities and the study of paraproducts, all of them with a heat semigroup point of view."

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
