Director’s Cuts
This series is dedicated to harmonic analysis talks of various natures. The talks are recommended to be 30-minute long and harmonic analysts at all career stages are welcome to contribute. Topics include but are not limited to: introduction to a subfield or a problem, recent developments on a problem, a particular research result, introduction to a cool technique or method. You are the director and decide the nature and target audience of your talk! If interested, you are also welcome to give a series of talks on one or multiple topics. Related live events (live talks or accompanying discussion sessions, office hours) will also be announced here.
