We describe the solution to two problems concerning indefinite integral ternary quadratic forms. The first about anisotropic forms was popularized by Margulis following his solution of the Oppenheim Conjecture. The second about the density of isotropic forms was raised by Serre. Joint work with A. Gamburd, A. Ghosh and J. Whang.

The boundedness of Fourier multipliers on non-commutative $L_p$-spaces ($1 < p < \infty$) is a fundamental problem in non-commutative analysis. Building on the non-commutative Cotlar identity introduced by Mei and Ricard (2017), which yields $L_p$-boundedness ($1 < p < \infty$) of Hilbert transforms on amalgamated free products of finite von Neumann algebras, their approach relies heavily on freeness in the underlying free product structure.

In this talk, Xiaoqi Lu introduces a new strategy that overcomes this limitation. Our approach combines a generalized Cotlar identity, which holds on suitable subspaces and captures non-freeness information, with an additional condition related to the property of Rapid Decay to control the remaining components. From this framework, we establish the $L_p$-boundedness ($1 < p < \infty$) of Rademacher-type Hilbert transforms on graph products of finite von Neumann algebras. This unified framework extends earlier results for free products of finite von Neumann algebras and for graph products of groups acting on right-angled buildings. This is a joint work with Runlian Xia.
