Title: On the $\bar\partial$-Neumann Problem

Abstract:

  The $\bar\partial$-Neumann problem plays an important role in the
  field of several complex variables.  This problem has deep
  connections with partial differential equations, harmonic analysis,
  Bergman kernel, and analysis on the Heisenberg group.  This problem
  has been studied by many mathematicians extensively in the past 40
  years.  The speaker will start with the inhomogeneous Cauchy-Riemann
  equation and then introduce the $\bar\partial$-Neumann problem.  The
  speaker will discuss the solution and sharp estimates of the
  problem.
