2004 West Coast Operator Algebra Seminar

本提案是为将于2004年10月23 - 24日在西雅图大学举行的第12届西海岸算子代数研讨会（WCOAS）提供部分支持。WCOAS已经成为美国西部和加拿大算子代数学家的传统。预计参与者人数约为40-50人，包括来自北美西部各地的研究生，博士后和教师研究人员。研讨会将有几个小时的讲座，由该地区及其他地区的资深和年轻研究人员就当前主题进行讨论。西海岸运营商代数研讨会的智力优点是：（1）这是一个机会，研究人员传播自己的成果;（2）这是一个机会，研究人员了解最近的研究他人，并保持与当前工作的最新进展;（3）它促进合作研究，让研究人员有机会见面，并讨论他们的工作与对方。 WCOAS的更广泛的影响是：（1）它将鼓励和培养研究生和博士后，让他们有机会展示自己的工作，了解最近的工作，并满足既定的研究人员在算子代数;（2）它创造了一个有凝聚力的区域社区的算子代数学家;（3）促进研究型大学和本科院校师生之间的联系。 该提案是为东南大西洋区域微分方程会议提供部分支助，该会议自1981年以来每年举行一次。 会议的主要目标是将研究生、年轻的研究人员和更资深的研究人员聚集在一起。 该计划的特点是著名数学家的全体会议，由年轻的参与者贡献论文的平行会议。 这笔资金将主要用于研究生和年轻博士的旅行支持。

AbstractBoersemaThis proposal is for partial support of the 12th West Coast Operator Algebra Seminar (WCOAS), to be held at Seattle University on October 23 - 24, 2004. The WCOAS has become a tradition among the operator algebraists in the western United States and Canada. The expected number of participants is approximately 40-50, including graduate students, postdocs, and faculty researchers coming from all over western North America. The seminar will feature several hour-long talks on current topics given by both established and younger researchers in the region and beyond. The intellectual merits of the West Coast Operator Algebra Seminar are that (1) it is an opportunity for researchers to disseminate their own results; (2) it is an opportunity for researchers learn about recent research of others and to stay abreast of current work; (3) it fosters collaborative research by giving researchers the opportunity to meet and discuss their work with each other. The broader impacts of WCOAS are that (1) it will encourage and nurture graduate students and postdocs by giving them the opportunity to present their own work, learn about recent work, and meet established researchers in operator algebras; (2) it creates a cohesive regional community of operator algebraists; (3) it fosters connections between the faculty and students at research universities and those at primarily undergraduate institutions. The proposal is for partial support of the Southeastern-Atlantic Regional Conference on Differential Equations that has met annually since 1981. The primary objective of the meeting is to bring together graduate students, young investigators, and more senior researchers. The program features plenary talks by eminent mathematicians, with parallel sessions of contributed papers by younger participants. The funding will be used primarily for the travel support of graduate students and young PhDs.
