Organizers: Han Li, Weilin Li, Vincent Martinez, Azita Mayeli
Friday, 1:00-3:00pm EST, (GC 6421, hybrid format; please email vrmartinez-at-hunter-dot-cuny-dot-edu or amayeli-at-gc-dot-cuny-dot-edu for passcode)
This seminar was initiated by Azita Mayeli and running continuously since 2012. The seminar mainly hosts speakers in the fields of harmonic analysis and the analysis of partial differential equations. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, sampling and frames theory, Riesz bases and signal processing, Fuglede Conjecture, singular integral theory, oscillatory integral operators, restriction and Kakeya-type estimates, decoupling, analysis in data science, dispersive equations, hydrodynamic equations, the mathematics of turbulence, regularity theory, stochastic PDEs, ergodic theory, long-time behavior of dynamical systems. If you would like to present a talk or added to our mailing list, please contact one of the corresponding co-organizers.

A Mathematical Invitation to Wannier Functions
Wannier functions, first proposed in the 1930s, have had a long history in computational chemistry as a practical means to speed up calculations. Stated in a mathematical language, Wannier functions are an orthonormal basis for certain types of spectral subspaces which are generated by the action of a translation group. In the 1980s however, it was realized that there is an intimate connection between Wannier functions and topology. In particular, Wannier functions with fast spatial decay exist if and only if a certain vector bundle is topologically trivial. Materials with non-trivial topology host a number of remarkable properties which are robust to physical imperfections. In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to topological materials and Wannier functions in periodic systems. I will then discuss my work on extending these results to systems without any underlying periodicity.
