title:
The Multilinear Kakeya Phenomenon
Abstract:
We survey various aspects of the multilinear Kakeya
phenomenon: how it relates to the classical Kakeya problem,
its connections with other areas of mathematics including
discrete geometry, algebraic topology, PDEs, probability, complex
variables, geometric measure theory, combinatorial optimisation
and multilinear functional analysis. We discuss known results and open
problems in the area.
Note that the topic of this talk is close to the topic of my
(Stefán I. Valdimarsson) talk last
week but this one will most likely be much more interesting. Also,
note that it is not a requirement to have heard my talk to listen to
this one.

Title:
Multilinear operators and convex programming
Abstract:
We will discuss the connexion between the multilinear Kakeya
inequality and a convex programming problem. Guth was the first to
demonstrate this connextion but subsequently it has been discovered
that the connexion is stronger than first appears. The talk is based
on joint work of Tony Carbery from the University of Edinburgh and the
speaker.
