Tadeusz Iwaniec Research Details

The main theme of my research: Nonlinear Analysis and Geometric Function Theory, which includes the following topics:

Linear and Nonlinear Elliptic PDEs
* Very weak solutions
* LP- regularity theory
* Orlicz-Sobolev type estimates
* Differential forms
The Calculus of Variations
* Weak convergence methods
* Jacobian determinants and null Lagrangians
* Polyconvex and quasiconvex functionals
Deformations of Finite Distortion
* Functions of one complex variable
* Quasiregular mappings in Rn and the governing PDEs
* Topological properties of weakly differentiable mappings between Riemannian manifolds
Harmonic Analysis Methods
* Singular integrals (sharp estimates)
* Interpolation and nonlinear commutators
* Hardy spaces
Applications
Such general topics intersect modern areas of applied mathematics; nonlinear elasticity, material science, microstructure of crystals and so forth.
Synergistic Activities
The research program reflects continued efforts to reach out to graduate students and young scholars, incorporating research into learning (international summer school lectures) and partnerships (joint projects).
