In the 80’s Dahlberg asked two questions regarding the `$L^p$ – solvability’ of elliptic equations with variable coefficients. Dahlberg’s first question was whether $L^p$ solvability was maintained under `Carleson-perturbations’ of the coefficients. This question was answered by Fefferman, Kenig and Pipher [FKP], where they also introduced new characterizations of $A_\infty$, reverse-Hölder and $A_p$ weights. These characterizations were used to create a counterexample to show their theorem was sharp.

 

Dahlberg’s second question was whether a Carleson gradient/oscillation condition (the `DKP condition’) was enough to imply $L^p$ solvability for some p > 1. This was answered by Kenig and Pipher [KP] and refined by Dindos, Petermichl and Pipher [DPP] (in the `small constant’ case). These $L^p$ solvability results can be interpreted in terms of a reverse Hölder condition for the elliptic kernel and therefore connected with the $A_\infty$ condition. In this talk, we discuss L^p solvability for a class of coefficients that satisfies a `weak DKP condition’. In particular, we connect the (weak) DKP condition to the characterization of $A_\infty$ in [FKP]. This allows us to treat the `large’, `small’ and ‘vanishing’ (weak) DKP conditions simultaneously and independently from the works [KP] and [DPP].

 

This is joint work with my co-authors Egert, Saari, Toro and Zhao. A proof of the main estimate will be sketched, but technical details will be avoided.

Refined Restricted Invertibility

In this talk, we will discuss a further refinement of the restricted invertibility principle first put forward by Bourgain and Tzafriri. Namely, we will show that any full rank matrix has a large submatrix whose smallest singular value is of the same order as the harmonic average of all singular values. We will also investigate the relation to the problem of estimating the Banach-Mazur distance to the cube. Joint work with Assaf Naor.
