A randomized difference norm for vector-valued Bessel potential spaces
* Friday 23 February 2018,   15:15,   Kumpula Exactum C124
In this talk we discuss a randomized difference norm characterization for Bessel potential spaces in the UMD Banach space-valued setting. The main ingredients are R-boundedness results for Fourier multiplier operators, which are of independent interest. As an application we characterize the pointwise multiplier property of the indicator function of the half-space on these spaces. All results are proved in the setting of weighted spaces

Correlations of arithmetic functions
* Tuesday 27 February 2018,   15:15,   D
Important arithmetic functions include the von Mangoldt function $\Lambda(n)$ which is essentially a weighted characteristic function of the primes, and the Liouville function $\lambda(n)$ which is $-1$ or $+1$ depending on whether $n$ has an odd or even number of prime factors. Mean values of these functions have been known for more than a century and in both cases the asymptotic evaluation of the mean value is equivalent to the prime number theorem which says that the number of primes up to $x$ is $x/\log x$. Much more difficult question is whether there is correlation between consecutive values of $\lambda(n)$ or between $\Lambda(n)$ and $\Lambda(n+2)$. Such questions are closely related to the notoriously difficult twin prime conjecture which claims that there are infinitely many primes $p$ such that $p+2$ is also prime. Though the twin prime conjecture is still a distant goal, there has been some recent progress on this sort of correlations which I will discuss.
