I'm not sure if this blog is meant solely for QC analysis, so this might be a bit tangential.

We've begun a theme at Student Analysis Seminar, titled "A Toolbox of Ideas: Useful Concepts in Analysis" or some permutation of those words. The idea is to empower us students, and in particular the younger students, so that the faculty-run analysis seminars are easier to break into.

Earlier we had a brainstorming session and thought of the following ideas (generously recorded by Marie):

• Sobolev Spaces & Weak Derivatives (I spoke on this today, in fact)
  
• Type and Cotype
  
• Quasiconformal/Quasisymmetric mappings
  
• Distributions & Currents
  
• Metric Measure Spaces & common constructions
  
• Capacity
  
• K-Convexity
  
• Several Complex Variables Intro Topics
  

At any rate, Kevin: I was wondering if you had any suggestions about what would be useful to know, when walking into the analysis seminars.
