Geometric discrepancy
and harmonic analysis
Abstract: The theory of geometric discrepancy studies different variations
of the following question: how well can one approximate a uniform
distribution by a discrete one, and what are the limitations that
necessarily arise in such approximations. Historically, the methods of
harmonic analysis (Fourier transform, Fourier series, wavelets, Riesz
products etc) have played a pivotal role in the subject. I will give an
overview of the problems, methods, and results in the field and discuss
some latest developments and connections with problems in probability and
approximation.
