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

9815653 Blackadar该奖项支持美国科学家参加1999年7月5日至9日在日本福冈举行的关于算子代数和应用的美日研讨会。联合组织者是内华达大学的布鲁斯·布莱克达尔教授、日本九州大学的里诺教授和小崎秀树教授。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了解，而且展示了该学科在拓扑学、几何学和数学物理中的广泛应用。这些进展很大程度上是由美国和日本的调查人员取得的。研讨会计划将由三个主要类别组成。它们是：1)子因子论和相关主题；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。研讨会组织者做出了特别努力，让年轻的研究人员既作为参与者又作为观察员。与日本专家在这一领域交换想法和数据将使美国参与者能够推进他们自己的工作，并将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. ***
