invites you to a colloquium by

 

 

Professor Alex Iosevich

University of MissouriColumbia

 

 

 

Thursday, Sept. 20, 2007

4:00 - 4:50 p.m.

Room 801 Old Chemistry Building

 

 

 

 

Discrete Radon transforms and applications to arithmetic problems in finite fields

 

 

 

     Abstract: We shall see that the "harmonic analytic"

       perspective on Radon transforms in vector spaces

          over finite fields yields good estimates for the

             classical sum-product problems and allows for

                improved bounds in related problems in additive

                   number theory.

 

     Refreshments will be served at 3:30 pm

in the Faculty & Graduate Student Lounge

   Room 840 of the Old Chemistry Building
