The 2017 Spring Institute on Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras

该提案请求资金用于支付2017年5月5日至11日在田纳西州纳什维尔的范德比尔特大学举行的非交换几何和算子代数年度春季研究所（NCGOA）的参与者的费用。关于该研究所的更多信息可以在网站http://math.vanderbilt.edu/ncgoa17The上找到，算子代数和逻辑之间的联系在过去的15年里戏剧性地重新出现。在描述集合论的进步导致解决长期存在的问题，在算子代数，这些又刺激了描述集合论的发展。同时，算子代数中连续模型理论的出现对于解决这一领域的难题具有非凡的潜力。这所学校和会议的目的是汇集来自这些领域的世界级研究人员和年轻工作者，相互学习概念和技术，并关注最新的发展。

This proposal requests funding to help defray the expenses of participants in the Annual Spring Institute in Noncommutative Geometry and Operator Algebras (NCGOA) to be held at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee from May 5 to 11, 2017. Additional information about the institute can be found on the website http://math.vanderbilt.edu/ncgoa17The connections between operator algebras and logic have dramatically reemerged in the last 15 years. Advances in descriptive set theory have led to solutions to long standing problems in operator algebras and these have in turn spurred growth in descriptive set theory. Also, the emergence of continuous model theory in operator algebras has extraordinary potential to answer difficult problems in this area. The aim of this school and conference is to bring together world-class researchers and young workers from these areas to learn concepts and techniques from each other and to focus on recent developments.
