When: Sunday, June 3, 10am Where: Schreiber 309 Speaker: Ron Blei, University of Connecticut, USA Title: Multilinear extensions of the Grothendieck inequality revisited

Abstract:

The Grothendieck inequality is fundamentally a two-dimensional phenomenon, and the question concerning analogous phenomena in higher dimensions is largely open-ended. In my talk, I will revisit some known multidimensional extensions in a setting of fractional Cartesian products, giving new (and considerably easier) proofs. If time permits, I will state and discuss some open questions.
