			 Twisted Holomorphic Forms on Generalized Flag Varieties
		
		
		
			 Paramasamy Karuppuchamy (University of Toledo)
		
		
		Abstract. Bott proved the following vanishing theorem for complex projective space in his seminal paper (Annals of Mathematics, 1957) on homogeneous vector bundle: $ H^*({\mathbb P}^n, \Omega ^q_{\mathbb P^n}\otimes \mathcal{O}(k))=0, ~ 1\leq k \leq q.$  We say that a smooth projective variety $X$ satisfies the Bott vanishing property if the twisted holomorphic forms or Dolbeault cohomology H$^{p,q}(X, \mathcal{L})=$H$^q(X, \Omega^p(\mathcal{L}))=0$ for all ample line bundle $L, ~ \forall q >0 ~ \forall p >0$.  Where, $\Omega ^ p $ stands for $\Lambda ^p T^*_X$ and $\Omega^p(\mathcal{L}) = \Omega ^p\otimes \mathcal{L}$. The flag varieties are smooth projective varieties.  We show that the flag variety fails to hold Bott vanishing property for certain ample line bundles, and also give numerical conditions on ample  line bundles to satisfy Bott vanishing property.

			 The Value of $\pi_p$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ in the $p$-Norm
		
		
		
			 Nathaniel Iverson (University of Toledo)
		
		
		Abstract. We will prove $\pi$ is the minimum value of $\pi_p$ following the results in Alder and Tanton's paper MR1766159. Given there is enough time we can also discuss the area of an $l_p$ circle and cite a result from Xianfu Wang (2005).

			 On the Numerical Range of $C_{\psi}^*C_{\phi}$
		
		
		
			 Michael Dabkowski (Lawrence Technological University)
		
		
		Abstract. We consider the numerical range the product of a composition operator $C_{\phi}$ with the adjoint of a composition operator $C_{\psi}^*$, both acting on the Hardy space $H^2.$ For certain choices of $\phi$ and $\psi$ with small $L^{\infty}$ norm we show that the numerical range is a non-tangential approach region on the disc and explicitly compute the aperture at the boundary point of this region. We relate this problem to the problem of finding the spectrum of a certain class of Jacobi matrices.

			 Complex Symmetric Operators, Part II
		
		
		
			 Trieu Le (University of Toledo)
		
		
		Abstract. I shall talk about the notion of complex symmetric operators and their basic properties, based on Stephan Garcia's note ``What is a Complex Symmetric Operator?'' in the January 2017 issue of the Notices of the AMS. Recent results on complex symmetric composition, Toeplitz and truncated Toeplitz operators will be then discussed.

			 $L^p$ Regularity of Bergman Projections on Domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$
		
		
		
			 Zeljko Cuckovic (University of Toledo)
		
		
		Abstract. Bergman projections and Bergman kernels are among the central objects in complex analysis. In this talk we will discuss the $L^p$ regularity of weighted Bergman projections on various domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$. Then we will show an $L^p$ irregularity of weighted Bergman projections on complete Reinhardt domains with exponentially decaying weights (joint work with Yunus Zeytuncu). Finally we establish estimates of the $L^p$ norms of Bergman projections on strongly pseudoconvex domains. The talk should be accessible to graduate students.

			 Compactness of Hankel Operators with Conjugate Holomorphic Symbols on Convex Reinhardt Domains in $\mathbb{C}^2$
		
		
		
			 Timothy G. Clos (University of Toledo)
		
		
		Abstract. First, I will give an introduction to the geometry of bounded convex Reinhardt domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{C}^2$ with both 'horizontal' and 'vertical' nontrivial analytic disks in the boundary. I will discuss how the existence of analytic disks in the boundary is an impediment to compactness of the Hankel operator. Then, assuming the boundary of $\Omega$ contains certain classes of analytic disks, I will show that the Hankel operator with conjugate holomorphic symbols is compact on the Bergman space of $\Omega$ if and only if the symbol is identically constant.

			 Positivity of Truncated Toeplitz Operators on Model Space via Berezin Transform on the Unit Disk
		
		
		
			 Krishna Subedi (University of Toledo)
		
		
		Abstract. In this talk, I will prove, for any $L^{\infty}(\partial\mathbb{D})$-symbol, the positivity of Berezin transform of the symbol on the disk implies the positivity of truncated Toeplitz operator on the $2$-dimensional model space. Furthermore I will show a counterexample that proves positivity of the operator does not always imply the positivity of the symbol.

			 "Almost" Reverse Carleson Measures, Part III
		
		
		
			 Anthony Vasaturo (University of Toledo)
		
		
		Abstract. I will give some background, and then a sufficient condition for Toeplitz operators with Carleson measure symbols to be "almost" invertible on the weighted Bergman space of the disc, and a sufficient condition for a positive Borel measure to be "almost" Reverse Carleson on the Bargmann-Fock space. This type of condition shows up sometimes when trying to construct forward or reverse Carleson inequalities on function spaces.

			 On Finite Rank Perturbations of Toeplitz Products, Part II
		
		
		
			 Damith Thilakarathna (University of Toledo)
		
		
		Abstract. Let $T_f$ and $T_g$ be two Toeplitz operators on the Bergman space $A^2(\mathbb{D})$. In general, the product $T_f T_g$  is not a Toeplitz operator. A question one may ask is: 
can a finite rank perturbation of $T_f T_g$  be a Toeplitz operator? We offer solutions for a certain class of quasi-homogeneous symbols.

			 $C^{*}$-algebras Generated by Composition and Toeplitz Operators
		
		
		
			 Alan Wiggins (University of Michigan-Dearborn)
		
		
		Abstract. Let $\phi$ be a linear fractional map of the unit disk $\mathbb{D}$ into itself.
A fair amount of energy has been expended in examining the unital $C^{*}$-algebra generated by the composition operator $C_{\phi}$ and either the compacts or the Toeplitz operator $T_z$. The addition allows one to quotient out by the compacts in either case to obtain reasonable isomorphism results, detailed
in the works of Kriete, Macluer, and Moorhouse and Quertermous. We attempt to describe the unital $C^{*}$-algebra $A$ generated by $C_{\phi}$, beginning by asking when this algebra actually contains nonzero compact operators. This
is work in progress with John Clifford and Yunus Zeytuncu at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.

			 Supnorm Estimates for D-bar on Realanalytic Domains in $\mathbb{C}^3$ 
		
		
		
			 Berit Stensønes (Norwegian University of Science and Technology)
		
		
		Abstract. We will study how to build an integral kernel to make a solution operator for the $\bar{\partial}$-equation for $(0,1)$-forms. We shall see how one can use the Koszul complex to develop good solutions to the Cauchy-Fantappi equation. This involves to make good choices of the smooth solutions C-F equations. Further we shall see how one can handle the transition from line type to curve type.
