U.S.-Japan Joint Seminar: Operator Algebras and Applications

9815653 Blackadar该奖项支持美国科学家参与美国-日本算子代数及其应用研讨会，将于1999年7月5-9日在日本福冈举行。 共同组织者是内华达州大学的布鲁斯·布莱克达尔教授、日本九州大学的里诺和小崎秀树教授。 算子代数是一个极其重要的分析领域。 在过去的十年中取得了非常重大的突破，不仅增加了我们对该领域的理解，而且还展示了该主题在拓扑学，几何学和数学物理学中的广泛应用。 美国和日本的研究人员已经取得了很大的进展。研讨会计划将包括三个主要类别。 这些是：1）子因子理论及相关主题; 2）C* -代数的分类和结构; 3）算子代数在几何、拓扑和物理中的应用。 研讨会的组织者作出了特别努力，让年轻的研究人员既参加研讨会，又作为观察员参加。 与日本专家在这一领域的想法和数据交流将使美国参与者能够推进自己的工作，并为未来的合作项目奠定基础。***

9815653BlackadarThis award supports the participation of American scientists in a U.S.-Japan seminar on Operator Algebras and Applications, to be held in Fukuoka, Japan from July 5-9, l999. The co-organizers are Professors Bruce Blackadar at the University of Nevada, Reno and Hideki Kosaki at Kyushu University in Japan. Operator algebras is an exceedingly important area of analysis. Very significant breakthroughs have been made in the last decade that not only increase our understanding of the field, but also demonstrate the wide range of applications of the subject to topology, geometry, and mathematical physics. Much of this progress has been made by investigators in the U.S. and Japan.The seminar program will be composed of three main categories. These are: 1) theory of subfactors and related topics; 2) classification and structure of C* -Algebras; and 3) applications of operator algebras to geometry, topology, and physics. Seminar organizers have made a special effort to involve younger researchers as both participants and observers. The exchange of ideas and data with Japanese experts in this field will enable U.S. participants to advance their own work, and will set the stage for future collaborative projects. ***
