The proposed AIS on "Harmonic Analysis and PDEs" offers an in-depth exploration of some important topics in modern mathematical research. Over the past few decades, Harmonic Analysis has significantly evolved, finding applications in PDEs, Number Theory, Physics, and Signal Processing, among other fields. This 3-week workshop is structured to provide an introduction to some fundamental aspects of the subject. For the same, we plan to teach topics in Distribution Theory, Fourier Analysis on the Euclidean spaces, Harmonic Analysis on the Heisenberg Group, Elliptic PDEs, Inverse Problems and Restriction Theorems for the Fourier Transform.
