Ryan L. Acosta Babb
I completed a 4 year BSc in Mathematics and Philosophy with Specialism in Foundations and Logic at the University of Warwick, and then the MASt in Mathematical SciencesLink opens in a new window programme, undertaking a project on Scaling Limits for Random Gaussian Fields supervised by Dr Stefan AdamsLink opens in a new window.Currently, I am a 2nd Year PhD student under the supervision of Prof James RobisonLink opens in a new window, working on Lp convergence of eigenfunction expansions for second-order linear differential operators in the plane.
I may be reached at r.[last name A]-[last name B] at warwick.ac.uk.
Research Interests
In one dimension, there is only one way to truncate a partial sum: count up to a certain N. For eigenfunctions labelled by pairs of indices, as is the case of the Fourier series on Z2, we may truncate in several ways. For example, do we count pairs of indices (n, m) with |n|,|m| ≤ N, or instead count them with n2 + m2 ≤ N? It is a curious fact that Lp convergence can be obtained in the former case (for all p) but "never" the latter: it fails for all p ≠ 2! I am researching the Lp convergence of series of eigenfunctions on the disc, and equilateral, hemiequilateral and 45-90-45 triangles.
