West Coast Operator Algebra Seminar

该奖项用于支付2011年10月1日至2日在新墨西哥大学校园举行的西海岸运营商代数研讨会东南分析会议(WCOAS)的参会者的费用。WCOAS会议汇集了经验丰富的和初级的研究人员，包括研究生和博士后，讨论最近在算子代数方面的工作和进展。在这次会议上，与会者将了解以下大多数领域的进展：自由概率、子因子、算子空间、量子群、自同态半群、C*-代数的分类、非交换几何、图C*-代数和非交换动力系统。会议的目标是让与会者了解上述领域的最新事态发展，这对初级调查人员和研究生尤其重要。特别注意确保在较年轻的演讲者和较成熟的演讲者之间保持平衡。根据过去WCOAS成功会议的传统，我们完全可以期待这次会议将是一次具有重大研究和培训影响的活动。算子代数指的是从默里和冯·诺伊曼1930年左右的论文中衍生出来的一系列相关主题。最初的动机是为物理学中的量子力学提供一个基础，而今天物理学的各个领域和算符代数之间有很多重叠。算符代数的应用和相互作用比物理学更广泛，然而，它涉及到数论、动力系统、随机矩阵和数值线性代数。资助和发言机会将优先考虑给研究生和其他年轻研究人员，以及在数学方面代表性不足的群体成员。专业发展和将不同的研究人员群体整合到算符代数社区是该项目预期的影响。从科学上讲，算子代数理论和相关学科的发展以及算子代数在其他学科中的应用都是有潜力的。

This award provides support to defray expenses of participants in the West Coast Operator Algebra Seminar South Eastern Analysis Meeting (WCOAS) on the campus of the University of New Mexico, October 1-2, 2011. The WCOAS conferences bring together both experienced and junior researchers, including graduate students, and postdocs to discuss recent work and advances in operator algebras. At this meeting participants will learn of progress in most of the following fields: free probability, subfactors, operator spaces, quantum groups, semigroups of endomorphisms, classification of C*-algebras, non-commutative geometry; graph C*-algebras, and non-commutative dynamical systems. The conference goal to bring participants up to date on developments in the aforementioned areas is especially important to junior investigators and graduate students. Particular care is taken to ensure that the schedule is balanced between younger and more established speakers. Based on the tradition of past successful WCOAS meetings, there is every expectation that this conference will be an event with significant research and training impact. Operator Algebra refers to a broad array of related topics that sprang from papers of Murray and von Neumann circa 1930. The initial motivation was to provide a foundation for quantum mechanics in physics, and today there is much overlap between various areas of physics and operator algebras. Application and interaction of operator algebra are more broad than physics, however, getting into number theory, dynamical systems, random matrices and numerical linear algebra. Priority for funding and speaking opportunities will be given to graduate students and other young researchers as well as members of groups underrepresented in mathematics. The professional development and integration of a diverse group of researchers into the operator algebra community are anticipated impacts of the project. Scientifically, there is potential for advances in the theory of operator algebras and related disciplines and applications of operator algebras to other disciplines.
