Abstract

Introduced by Isaac Newton in 1669 to study algebraic functions, the convex polygon known as the Newton diagram has emerged as an object of importance in many central problems of harmonic analysis. We will provide a gentle introduction to some of these problems, describe the relevance of the Newton diagram in their context, and mention some of the deeper open questions they lead to. The talk is intended for a general mathematical audience.
