PhD
I completed a PhD in harmonic analysis under the supervision of Tony Carbery, graduating in 2014.
Kinnear, G. (2014). Case studies for the multilinear Kakeya theorem and Wolff-type inequalities (Doctoral thesis, University of Edinburgh). URL:https://era.ed.ac.uk/handle/1842/8962
Reading
During the first 6 months of the PhD, I followed lecture courses from the SMSTC in Algebra, Geometry & Topology, and Pure Analysis. Alongside this, I was reading Stein's Singular Integrals.
I then proceeded to reading Córdoba's Translation Invariant Operators; in particular the section on Bochner-Riesz multipliers, alongside related material.
I worked on a problem related to the recent paper of Garrigós and Seeger, as well as the multilinear Kakeya problem.
