The PI intends to conduct research on the structure of Polish groups and applications of Descriptive Set Theory and Ramsey theory in Functional and Harmonic Analysis. Recently, a number of techniques originating in abstract harmonic analysis have been adopted to the setting of non-locally compact Polish groups, thus providing a rich tool set for furthering the understanding of the topological groups arising internally in descriptive set theory and the model theory of countable first-order structures. The PI is engaged is studying various aspect of these tools, both applying the resulting structure theory of Polish groups to problems in functional analysis, as witnessed in his recent collaboration with V. Ferenczi on the existence of optimal norms on Banach spaces, and calibrating properties of countable first-order structures M with topological properties of their automorphism group Aut(M). In addition, the PI is studying the block Ramsey theory originating in the work of W.T. Gowers, which has led to significant results in the geometric theory of Banach spaces, in particular, a classification program for separable Banach spaces based on infinite-dimensional Ramsey theory. As has become clearer recently, the underlying Ramsey theoretical results are best understood in terms of infinite games of perfect information with very strong winning strategies and to which usual determinacy does not immediately apply. The research described in the proposal is largely inter-disciplinary, connecting a variety of fields from mathematical logic to functional and harmonic analysis. The PI aims to further the continuous integration of descriptive set theory with other branches of mathematics and thus provide new venues for a field traditionally having benefited enormously from deep work in purer areas of set theory. In part through the PI's work, eventually, these results will hopefully trickle down to applications to rather tame problems in analysis, i.e., not a priori involving set theory or logic.

该中心的目的是研究波兰群体的结构以及描述集合论和拉姆齐理论在泛函和调和分析中的应用。最近，一些起源于抽象调和分析的技术被用于非局部紧Polish群的设置，从而为进一步理解描述集论和可数一阶结构模型理论中内在产生的拓扑群提供了丰富的工具集。PI正在研究这些工具的各个方面，既将得到的波兰群的结构理论应用于泛函分析中的问题，如他最近与V.Ferenczi就Banach空间上最优范数的存在性的合作所证明的那样，以及利用可数一阶结构M的自同构群Aut(M)的拓扑性质来校准可数一阶结构M的性质。此外，PI正在研究起源于W.T.Gowers的块Ramsey理论，该理论在Banach空间的几何理论中产生了重要的结果，特别是基于无限维Ramsey理论的可分Banach空间的分类程序。正如最近变得更加清楚的那样，潜在的拉姆齐理论结果最容易理解为完美信息的无限博弈，具有非常强的制胜策略，通常的确定性并不立即适用于这种博弈。提案中描述的研究在很大程度上是跨学科的，连接了从数理逻辑到泛函和调和分析的各种领域。PI的目的是促进描述集合论与其他数学分支的持续整合，从而为这个传统上从更纯粹的集合论领域的深入工作中受益匪浅的领域提供新的场所。在一定程度上，通过PI的工作，这些结果最终将有望应用于相当温和的分析问题，即不涉及集合论或逻辑的先验。
