• Harmonic analysis (Fourier coefficients behaviour in functional classes: theorems of De Leeuw - Katznelson - Kahane type and connected statements, operators - multipliers, Men‘shov-type correction theorems, uncertainty principals)
• Geometric analysis (harmonic measure in Rn, counterexamples to its absolute continuity to the surface measure, harmonic measure for sets of high co-dimensions, analogues to Dahlberg’s theorem for the latter setting)
• Dynamical systems, mathematical physics (hysteresis, operators spectrum and properties)
• Minor interests include:
  • Bellman function, TCS (classical algorithms, Machine Learning, AI and Godel‘s incompleteness theorem), combinatorics and geometry (geodesics and Laplace operator spectrum on surfaces).

Polina Perstneva is currently studying to receive a Ph.D. from Université Paris-Saclay, under the directed of Prof. Guy David. She received her B.S. in Mathematics from Saint-Petersburg State University in 2019 and has worked on several undergrad and graduate theses:

• Master thesis: “Harmonic measure in high co-dimensions” under supervision of Professor Guy David (grade 18, general diploma note Bien),
• Bachelor thesis: “Theorems of de Leeuw-Katznelson-Kahane type on the two-dimensional torus” under the supervision of professor Sergey Kislyakov (diploma with distinction).
