| Title of Talk | Characterizing Isometries: A Long Running Undergraduate Research Project |
| Abstract | In 2010, my adviser Aaron Luttman began an undergraduate research project with an honors student at Clarkson University. The goal was to investigate a decomposition for isometries between normed vector spaces; specifically, to prove that the domain of the isometry had to be the direct sum of ``nice'' subspaces. The project ended in 2011 when my adviser (and the student) left academia. I revived the project in 2015 with an honors student here at Iowa State University, and while significant progress was made, we did not fully resolve it. This semester, I am approaching the problem again with a new student. We'll talk about the ins, outs, and what-have-yous of the project, where we currently stand, and the plan going forward. |
