Lecturer(s):
Michael Greenblatt (University of Illinois at Chicago)
Location:
University of British Columbia
Topic:
Newton Polyhedra and Sharp Estimates for Oscillatory Integrals
Description:
Varchenko described how one can obtain sharp estimates for scalar
oscillatory integrals when the Newton polyhedron of the phase satisfies
a certain nondegeneracy condition. These estimates can be described in
a nice geometric way in terms of this Newton polyhedron. We will
describe how these estimates still hold under weaker conditions; the
proof uses resolution of singularities methods. We then will describe a
class of functions for which the weaker conditions can not be weakened
further. Further generalizations will also be discussed.
