Title: A powerful asymptotic method based on the Riemann-Hilbert Problems
Abstract: A Riemann-Hilbert problem is, in simple terms, the task of finding a sectional analytic function within a region of the complex plane with specified jumps across a given curve. This problem has been a fundamental topic of research in mathematics since the early 20th century. In this talk, I will discuss an asymptotic method based on the Riemann-Hilbert problems, which were introduced by Deift-Zhou during the 1990s. We will also mention some of the applications in nonlinear integrable systems and orthogonal polynomials. If time permits, I will also introduce a generalized version of the method based on the Dbar operator.
The talk is designed to be accessible to a broad audience. However, some familiarity with Cauchy integrals would be definitely helpful.
