CMS Summer Meeting, St. John's 2022 - Completing the Session "Harmonic Analysis and PDEs"

Organizers: Eric Sawyer (McMaster) and Scott Rodney (CBU)

Two talks from the Harmonic Analysis and PDE's session at the summer meeting of the CMS in St. John's were not heard due to technical/CoViD issues. To complete the session, we were pleased to present this online special session containing two 50 minute talks on Thursday, July 14 from 1-2pm and 2-3pm EST (Ontario, Canada). These talks were hosted online and in person through McMaster University, advertised by, and part of, the 2022 summer meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society with web hosting provided by Cape Breton University. If you missed these talks you can find the slides and recordings on the website:
