Description:
The structure of the conference will be as follows: the conference will last 4 ½ days: each day there will be two plenary
speakers and two or three parallel sessions of talks running for 25 minutes. The evening before the first day there will be
a reception, and toward the end a conference banquet. It has also been customary to have some kind of conference
excursion, and t he middle day of the conference we plan to end the formal talks at noon, and take the participants to
Boone for a ride on the Scenic Valley.
The conference is not focused on a single theme, but encompasses a wide spectrum of operator theory and operator algebras, including applications. Thus, we have invited plenary speakers working in Von Neumann algebras, classification of C*-algebras, nonsefladjoint algebras (including groupoid theory, inductive limit algebras), applications to statistics and electrical engineering.
GPOTS is an opportunity for graduate students who are nearing completion and for young postdocs to talk about their work, and to meet with and interact with more established researchers.
Participants include not only U.S. and Canadian mathematicians, but also some from Europe, Japan and Australia.
Speakers: The following principal speakers have been confirmed:, William Arveson, University of California, Berkeley, In the thirty years he has been at Berkeley, he has had a major influence on operator algebras. Recent work concerns, endomorphisms of operator algebras., Man-Duen Choi, University of Toronto, Choi has been involved in many developments in operator algebras over the years., Yuri Latushkin, University of Missouri, Does control theory, operator theory, mathematical physics, Baruch Solel, Technion--Israel Institute of Technology, Solel has had a collaboration with Paul Muhly (U. of Iowa) over the past decade exploiting the theory of groupoids in, their study of nonselfadjoint operator algebras., Huaxin Lin, University of Oregon, Has worked in C*-algebras, including real-rank zero., Stephen Power, University of Lancaster, U.K., He has been a frequent visitor to the U.S. and speaker at conferences over the years. His research in inductive limit, algebras has had a formative influence on the development of the subject., V. S. Sunder, Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Madras, India, He has coauthored a book with Halmos, and has another book on VonNeumann algebras. In addition he has been active, in von Neumann algebras.
