Monge-Ampere equations, the Bellman Function Technique, and Muckenhoupt weights
[ Abstract ]
In the last few years several classical results in harmonic analysis (in particular, the study of $A_\\infty$ weights have been sharpened with the use of a version of the Bellman function method (promulgated by Nazarov, Treil, and Volberg in the 90's) that involves recognizing the Bellman function as the solution of a Monge-Ampere PDE (the method was introduced by Vasyunin in 2003). We will give a sketch of the modified technique, outline some recent work-in-progress (with Slavin and Wall) using the technique in $A_\\infty$, and then present a few related problems.
