  On weighted Sobolev orthogonal polynomials in the ball
  Abstract: I discuss properties of polynomials orthogonal with respect to weighted Sobolev inner products in the -dimensional unit ball . Choosing a special inner product equivalent to the standard leads to families of orthogonal polynomials satisfying simple Sturm–Liouville problems. I strive to present results in terms of orthogonal polynomial spaces as opposed to particular bases. I discuss approximation theoretical consequences relevant to the analysis of a certain class of Spectral Methods.

  Rough control for Schrödinger operators on 2-tori
  Abstract: I will explain how the results of Bourgain, Burq and the speaker ’13 can be used to obtain control and observability by rough functions and sets on 2-tori. We show that for the time dependent Schrödinger equation, any set of positive measure can be used for observability and controllability.

  For non-empty open sets this follows from the results of Haraux ’89 and Jaffard ’90, while for sufficiently long times and rational tori this can be deduced from the results of Jakobson ’97.

  Other than tori (of any dimension; cf. Komornik ’91, Anantharaman–Macia ’14) the only compact manifolds for which observability holds for any non-empty open sets are hyperbolic surfaces. That follows from results of Bourgain–Dyatlov ’16 and Dyatlov–Jin ’17 and I will discuss the difficulty of passing to rougher rougher sets in that case. Joint work with N Burq.

  Structure Properties for Certain Non
  -Stable Crossed Product C*-Algebras
  Abstract: Crossed product C*-algebras of the form , where X is a compact metric space, D is an infinite-dimensional C*-algebra, and h is an automorphism induced by a minimal homeomorphism of X, have been studied extensively by the speakers and Chris Phillips in the case where D is stable under tensoring with the Jiang-Su algebra . Very little is previously known when this is not assumed to be the case, such as when D is , the free group C*-algebra on 2 or more generators. In fact not only are such algebras not Jiang-Su stable, they are not even nuclear. As a result, in order to obtain results on the structure of the crossed product, additional assumptions need to be made on the underlying space X. We will show that in the case where X is the Cantor Set, we can obtain stable rank one and real rank zero in the crossed product for examples using such algebras as D, the fiber term, in C(X,D).
