ABSTRACT

The 2023 Midwest Several Complex Variables Conference will be held April 28-30, 2023 on the Columbus campus of Ohio State University. The Midwest Several Complex Variables conference series has a long tradition serving as the primary regional meeting in complex analysis and related areas. The event provides ample opportunity for leading experts in the field and junior researchers to interact with each other and to pursue new collaborative projects. This award provides funding to cover travel expenses and accommodation of participants without access to other sources of external support, particularly graduate students and early career mathematicians.

The event focuses on recent developments at the interface of several complex variables, harmonic analysis, operator theory, functional analysis, and complex geometry. Several of the highlighted topics include Bergman spaces and unexpected mapping properties of the Bergman projection (and other canonical operators), singular integrals on domains with minimal smoothness, solvability of the Cauchy-Riemann operator in new geometric settings, CR complexity theory, and canonical metrics in several complex variables. In addition to the invited talks, conference activities will offer a stimulating environment for participants to discuss promising new directions in these areas. A poster session for graduate students will afford an opportunity to present their work and meet future colleagues in the field.

This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.

The 2023 Midwest Several Complex Variables conference was held April 28-30 at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. The meeting provided a rare opportunity for mathematicians working on problems in several complex variables, harmonic analysis, and complex geometry to interact and showcase recent developments in the field. There were 60 participants, including 20 graduate students and 14 other early-career researchers (post-docs and tenure-track faculty). In fact, the event was not limited to the Midwest region, as it attracted mathematicians from all over the country and abroad (Canada, Italy, and Austria). The NSF funding was used to cover travel expenses of 29 participants, with graduate students and junior researchers receiving the majority (72%) of the funds.

The conference featured 50-minute talks by fourteen invited speakers:

  1. David Barrett, University of Michigan
  2. Blake Boudreaux, University of Western Ontario
  3. Liwei Chen, Texas A&M University
  4. John D'Angelo, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
  5. Loredana Lanzani, Syracuse University and University of Bologna
  6. Laszlo Lempert, Purdue University
  7. Luka Mernik, Oklahoma State University
  8. Malabika Pramanik, University of British Columbia
  9. Andy Raich, University of Arkansas
  10. Yum-Tong Siu, Harvard University
  11. Emil Straube, Texas A&M University
  12. Dror Varolin, Stony Brook University
  13. Liding Yao, Ohio State University
  14. Andrew Zimmer, University of Wisconsin-Madison

The conference also featured a two and a half hour poster session with presentations by nine graduate students. Overall, the gathering was particularly beneficial to early-career participants by allowing them to pursue new collaborations and network with more senior researchers.

The organizing committee consisted of Debraj Chakrabarti (Central Michigan University), Luke Edholm (University of Vienna), Kenneth Koenig (Ohio State University), Liz Vivas (Ohio State University), and Yunus Zeytuncu (University of Michigan-Dearborn).
