ICMS Instructional Conference: Operator Algebras and Operator Spaces

May 5-14, 2000

Edinburgh, Scotland

Mathematics

Host: International Centre for Mathematical Sciences
Homepage: http://www.ma.hw.ac.uk/icms/current/opalg/index.html

Organizers: V. Jones (UC Berkeley), C. Lance (Leeds), G. Pedersen (Copenhagen), G. Pisier (Paris), S. Popa (UCLA), A. Sinclair (Edinburgh, Local Organiser), G. Skandalis (Paris)

Description:
This conference, the latest of a series in analysis run by ICMS, aims both to introduce this active field of mathematics to younger scientists and to provide an opportunity for specialists to exchange ideas. The programme takes the form of several series of lectures (each series consisting of 2 or 3 one-hour lectures) designed to introduce and elaborate upon a particular field, such as operator spaces, free probability, exact C*-algebras, subfactors and related areas of operator algebras. These series will be complemented by more specialised talks examining current trends. In addition to the formal lectures, there will be ample opportunity for informal tutorials and discussions.

Speakers: C. Anantharamam-de la Roche (Orleans, France), D. Bisch (UC Santa Barbara, USA), K. Dykema (Texas A & M, USA), U. Haagerup (Odense, Denmark), V. Jones (UC Berkeley, USA), E. Kirchberg (Berlin, Germany), G. Pisier (Paris VI, France), S. Popa (UCLA, USA), M. Rieffel (UC Berkeley, USA), D. Voiculsecu (UC Berkeley, USA)
