Reu Site: Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Statistics Research Experience For Undergraduates (Maps-Reu) @ University of Maryland College Park
This grant will fund the Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, and Statistics Research Experience for Undergraduates (MAPS-REU), organized by the Department of Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park. For eight weeks during each of the summers of 2014, 2015, and 2016, four different projects will be offered. For each project, specific questions and research tasks will be posed and isolated for in-depth study; and the principal investigators will guide the students to experimentally explore these questions and tasks. The PIs will lead the students to use their experimental findings to formulate conjectures and attempt to rigorously prove them. There will be projects in algebra/number theory, applied harmonic analysis, chaotic dynamics, geometry, mathematical biology, probability and random processes, quantum dynamics, and statistics.
Each year and for each of the four projects, a faculty member will engage two to three students in one or more problems in one of the areas mentioned above. The lead faculty (group leader) will introduce necessary background on his/her projects, will pose specific questions, will isolate problems, and/or will formulate numerical experiments for the students. The group leader will schedule two to three weekly meetings with each student of his/her group. To help mentor and maintain direct contact with the REU students, a post-candidacy graduate student will be assigned to each group. The role of the graduate student will be to maintain direct contact with the REU students through daily meetings and further mentoring. REU students will be asked to give regular oral presentations on their work or on background material of common interest. This program will also feature a written component: students will create handouts to supplement their presentations, as well as a summary of their results at the end of the project. In addition, the students will be introduced to searching mathematics literature using various platforms. The program will close with a final presentation by each REU student. The MAPS-REU students will deliver their final report to both the lead faculty as well as to the PI and the co-PI, and these reports will be made available on the program website. The students will also have opportunities to present their findings at various mathematical meetings. In addition, results from the MAPS-REU will be published in mathematics journals.

February Fourier Talks @ University of Maryland College Park
This award provides partial support for the period 2016-2018 for an annual series of conferences titled "February Fourier Talks" (FFT) at the University of Maryland in the general area of applied harmonic analysis - the 2016 meeting scheduled for February 18-19. In recent years, this area of mathematics has made important contributions in a number of application areas, including image analysis and signal processing - for example, members of this community were instrumental in the development of the JPEG 2000 image coding standard. The meetings are held in February, and they provide a high-level forum for harmonic analysts to bring their work to scientists from industry and government agencies. In addition, they allow experts in applied and pure harmonic analysis to become familiar with the latest problems in need of mathematical formulation and solution. Finally, they serve to introduce young mathematicians and scientists to applied and pure harmonic analysis.
The February Fourier Talks directly encourage dialogue and collaboration between mathematicians and scientists working in industry and government. The structure of the conference consists of three main lectures, 30-minute invited talks, and a poster session that showcases the work of students (both undergraduate and graduate) as well as postdocs. The conference encourages and financially supports participation by students, recent PhD recipients, and members of groups underrepresented in the mathematical sciences.

Two Conjectures On Finite Gabor Systems @ University of Maryland College Park
Advances in digital signal processing often rely on successes in pure and computational harmonic analysis, a branch of mathematics dating back to Joseph Fourier. Examples of these successes include the introduction of the JPEG standard for compression of photographic images, advances in phaseless reconstruction, and compressed sensing, e.g., the construction of single pixel cameras. At the core of this progress is a better understanding of the redundancy inherent in many data generated in our daily lives. Frame theory can be viewed as one of the appropriate paradigms to investigate and model redundancy. The investigators use frame theory to study two classes of problems whose solutions could have significant applicability in quantum information theory. Because some of the mathematical problems taken up in this project are related to engineering problems, their solutions could lead to advances in signal processing and technological infrastructure, as well as broaden the understanding and role of frames in applications.
The investigators study the Zauner conjecture in quantum information theory and the HRT (Heil-Ramanathan-Topiwala) conjecture in time-frequency analysis. They observe that the Zauner conjecture is a special case of the HRT conjecture in the setting of rank-one finite-dimensional time-frequency matrices, and use that relationship initially for the transference of current technology for each conjecture. The theory of frames plays a fundamental role in formulating and understanding the problems the investigators examine here. The notion of the coherence of finite sets of vectors is an important quantitative measure necessary to make technical progress in solving these problems, especially as regards understanding the role of maximal incoherence that such sets may have.
This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
