Analysis

We are a mathematics research group located in Madrid. Our work focuses on a variety of topics related to Functional Analysis: Banach lattices, phase retrieval, operator theory, convex geometry, and other problems with a clear analytic flavor. We are interested in using and developing tools to implement automated proof generation and Lean formalization to get a better understanding of the area.

Projects

2025-2029

Banach lattices, Geometric Valuation Theory and Machine Learning

Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (PID2024-162214NB-I00)

The main research lines of this project focus on Banach lattices, Geometric Valuation Theory, and the mathematical foundations of Machine Learning, with particular emphasis on the interactions between Functional Analysis, Convex Geometry, lattice structures, measure theory, and high-dimensional methods. The project aims to strengthen interdisciplinary research in these areas while also exploring applications of mathematical analysis to Machine Learning, including problems with potential impact in renewable energy forecasting and related technological challenges.

2026-2027

Analysis and Applications of Order and Lattice Structures

Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (COOPB25033)

This project aims to strengthen scientific collaboration between Spanish and Tunisian researchers working in Analysis, Probability, and their applications, with a special focus on training PhD students and early-career researchers and fostering opportunities in academia and the technology sector. Building on a previous iCOOP action, the project centers on the theory of Free Banach lattices and related order structures, seeking to advance their mathematical foundations and explore applications to Mathematical Economy, Finance, and Machine Learning.

Operator Theory on Free Banach lattices

Bilateral grant AEI-DFG (PCI2024-155094-2).

Banach lattices provide an abstract framework for studying function spaces and order-preserving structures that appear across mathematical analysis, including partial differential equations, stochastic analysis, and dynamical systems. Free Banach lattices have opened new directions in the field by producing canonical examples with unexpected properties, but a systematic theory of positive operators on them is still missing. This project aims to develop further this theory, deepening the understanding of free Banach lattices while also using their universal properties to construct new examples and counterexamples that may help resolve longstanding questions in the general theory of positive operators.
