Title: Aluthge iteration and its generalizations
Abstract: We will discuss the notions Aluthge transform and Aluthge iteration, its convergence conjecture and its development towards the final solution. The ultimate solution of J. Antezana, E. Pujals, and D. Stojanoff requires the tools from dynamical system and differential geometry. We will also consider the Banach algebra extension of Yamazaki's result and Lie group extension of APS's result. The contributions of the Auburn group will be discussed. The Banach extension requires the notion unitarily invariant norm. The Lie group extension uses a well-known topological concept called covering map.

Title: Quasi-invariant Measures on Path Space
Faculty host: Ming Liao
Abstract: Brownian motion was discovered in the early 1800’s and given and a statistical treatment by Einstein in 1905. Wiener constructed a probability measure on the space of continuous paths representing the law of Brownian motion, thereby giving a rigorous mathematical foundation to Einstein’s work. Wiener’s measure has an important translation property that goes under the name of the Cameron-Martin theorem. We discuss this property and describe a method to generalize it to a wider class of measures. Along the way we develop a relationship between quasi-invariant measures and admissible vector fields, both of which will be defined in the talk.
