    Prerequisite: Math 564
    Marker: Mikhail Karpukhin
    Text
  • Required: W. Rudin, Real and Complex Analysis, 3rd edition. McGraw-Hill Book Co., New York, 1987
  • Recommended: G. Folland. Real analysis. Modern techniques and their applications. Second edition. Pure and Applied Mathematics, Wiley-Interscience Publication, New York, 1999.
    • Syllabus:
  • Continuation of Math 564. We shall cover (approximately) the material from Chapters 5-9 in Rudin: Complex measures, absolute continuity, Riesz representation theorem, differentiation of measures, Lp spaces, product measures, Fubini's theorem, Fourier transforms, further material as time permits.
    • Tests
  • There will be a midterm that will count 30% of the grade. You can write a take-home midterm, in-class midterm or both. Your grade will be the maximum of the 2 scores.
  • Take home midterm, due Monday, March 7.
  • There will be a final exam; its weight under various marking options is described in the Grading section below.
  • You can write an in-class final, a take-home final, or both. Your grade will be the maximum of the 2 scores.
  • The in-class final exam will be held on Thursday, April 28, from 14:00-17:00, room to be announced.
  • Things to review for the final.
    • Oral Presentation
    Students will have an option of giving a 30-minute oral presentation in class on a topic chosen by the student in consultation with the instructor. If a student chooses that option, the presentation will be evaluated, and will count for 20% of the grade.
    List of possible topics (work in progress):
  • Rearrangement ineqaultities
  • Steiner symmetrization
  • Sobolev inequalities
  • Poincare's inequalities
  • Banach-Tarski paradox
  • Ruziewicz problem
  • Lie groups, Haar measure
  • Ergodic theorem
  • Isoperimetric inequalities
  • Rayleigh quotient, eigenvalues
  • Co-area formula
  • Cheeger constant
  • Infinite-dimensional spaces
  • Poisson Integral
  • Other topics to be announced
    • Grading:
  • Your final mark will be the largest of the following: [15% Assignments + 30% Midterm + 55% Final]; OR [15% Assignments + 85% Final]; OR [15% Assignments + 20% Midterm + 20% Presentation + 45% Final]; OR [15% Assignments + 20% Presentation + 65% Final].
  • In the event of extraordinary circumstances beyond the University's control, the content and/or evaluation scheme in this course is subject to change.
    • MyCourses: Your scores on assignments, presentation, midterm, final, and your final mark will be posted on MyCourses
    Supplemental: There will be a supplemental exam, counting for 100% of the supplemental grade. No additional work will be accepted for D, F or J.
    Homework will be assigned in class and will be due by 5pm by the specified deadline.
