Contents
- Oscillatory integrals
- Fourier integral operators and pseudo-differential operators in Euclidean space
- Pseudo-differential operators on manifolds and their spectral theory, Sobolev spaces
- Hamilton-Jacobi theory, symplectic geometry, Lagrangian submanifolds
- Global theory of Fourier integral operators on manifolds
Qualification Goals
The students shall
- to get to know and use the theory of Fourier integral operators as a central area of analysis and be introduced to questions of current research,
- Apply knowledge from functional analysis, Fourier and distribution theory to the modern theory of partial differential equations,
- practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof techniques),
- improve their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
Prerequisites
None. The competences taught in the following modules are recommended: either Analysis I and Analysis II or Basic Real Analysis, Complex Analysis and Vector Analysis, Functional Analysis, Partial Differential Equations.
