schedule.
The lectures will be given on Zoom.
(The last lecture has now been given.)
Course literature:
G. B. Folland: "Real Analysis" (selected chapters).
Chapter 8.1 in Elias M. Stein, "Harmonic analysis: real-variable methods, orthogonality, and oscillatory integrals"
(see JSTOR).
M. Einsiedler and T. Ward, "Ergodic theory with a view towards number theory" (selected sections).
Some course notes.
Examination:
Three assignments will be given during the course. For each assignment one can get
0-100 points. To pass the course, one has to submit solutions to all three assignments, have at least 20 points on each
of them and at least 100 points altogether.
assignment #1 (due October 6, before midnight)
- some comments & answers.
assignment #2 (due November 12, before midnight)
- some comments & answers.
assignment #3 (due December 17, before midnight)
- some references.
