Wabash Seminar and Miniconference, 2009 - 2011

该提案要求部分支持沃巴什研讨会及其年度迷你会议。它致力于促进和传播对中西部地区现代分析的重要贡献。在大约40年的运作中，它的成功赢得了国内和国际的声誉，并为年轻的研究人员、访客、博士后和研究生提供了一个独特的机会和良好的环境，定期与该领域的顶尖专家会面和交流思想。沃巴什研讨会和迷你会议系列将汇集中西部地区的功能分析师和他们的学生。这将进一步促进在算子代数和算子理论的不同领域工作的专家之间富有成效的互动。在过去的几年中，研讨会和会议吸引了来自印第安纳大学、IUPUI、普渡大学、伊利诺伊大学、辛辛那提大学和圣路易斯华盛顿大学的众多教职员工、博士后和博士生。沃巴什系列研讨会为初级人员提供了一个极好的机会，让他们接触和了解现代分析中最新的主要数学发展。这些接触经常培养他们的数学品味，并可能对他们未来的研究方向产生非常有益的影响。

This proposal requests partial support for The Wabash Seminar, along with its annual Miniconference. It is devoted to stimulation and dissemination of significant contributions to Modern Analysis in the Midwest region. For about 40 years of operation, it has earned a national and international reputation for its success, and has provided a unique opportunity and an excellent environment for young researchers, visitors, postdocs and graduate students to meet regularly and exchange ideas with leading experts in the fields. The Wabash Seminar and Miniconference series will bring together functional analysts and their students in the Midwest region. This will further contribute to fruitful interactions of experts working in different areas of operator algebras and operator theory. During the past years the seminar and the conference have attracted numerous faculty members, postdocs, and Ph.D students from Indiana University, IUPUI, Purdue University, University of Illinois, University of Cincinnati and Washington University at St Louis. The Wabash Seminar series offers an excellent opportunity to the junior people to be exposed to and to be informed of the latest major mathematical developments in Modern Analysis. These contacts develop very often their mathematical taste and could influence very beneficially the future directions of their research.
