West Coast Operator Algebra Seminar

该奖项提供资金，以帮助支付参加者的费用“西海岸运营商代数研讨会”，将于2013年10月26日至27日，在加州大学戴维斯分校的校园。这次会议是一个系列（WCOAS）的第二十一期，每年汇集了不同的数学家群体的主要研究兴趣是在运营商代数和相关主题。在今年的会议上，发言者将讨论以下主题：C*-代数的分类（艾略特计划）;非交换几何;固态物理中的算子代数;可数群在冯·诺依曼代数上作用的刚性;自由概率及其应用;子因子及其不变量;几何群论的应用;拓扑动力学; K-理论和表示论;量子群会议计划为研究生，博士后和其他年轻科学家提供了充分的机会来展示他们的工作。

This award provides funding to help defray the expenses of participants in the "West Coast Operator Algebra Seminar" that will be held from October 26-27, 2013, on the campus of the University of California-Davis.This conference is the twenty-first installment of a series (WCOAS) that annually brings together a diverse group of mathematicians whose primary research interests are in operator algebras and related topics. Among the topics to be discussed by speakers at this year's meeting are the following: classification of C*-algebras (the Elliott program); noncommutative geometry; operator algebras in solid state physics; rigidity for actions of countable groups on von Neumann algebras; free probability and its applications; subfactors and their invariants; applications to geometric group theory; topological dynamics; K-theory and representation theory; quantum groups. The conference program provides ample opportunity for graduate students, postdocs, and other young scientists to present their work.
