Great Plains Operator Theory Symposium 2018

该奖项提供资金，用于支付2018年5月29日至6月2日在俄亥俄州牛津市迈阿密大学校园举行的2018年大平原运营商理论研讨会的参会者费用。有关会议的更多信息可在网站上找到，https://users.miamioh.edu/mckennp2/gpots/index.htmlThe大平原运营商理论研讨会(GPOTS)是自1981年以来每年举行的地区会议。它汇集了一群不同的数学家，他们的主要研究兴趣是算子代数、算子理论和相关领域。2018年活动的主题样本如下：日冕问题、希尔伯特模、非交换函数理论、形变刚性、自由概率、子因子和融合范畴、C*-代数的分类、C*-代数和动力系统、Baum-Connes猜想、非对易微分几何、指数理论、算子空间和应用，以及逻辑和算子代数。预计出席人数在100至150人之间。该会议计划为研究生、博士后和其他年轻科学家提供了大量展示他们工作的机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的学术价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides funding to help defray the expenses of participants in the "Great Plains Operator Theory Symposium," a conference series in which the 2018 event will take place during May 29-June 2, 2018, on the campus of Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Additional information about the conference can be found on the website https://users.miamioh.edu/mckennp2/gpots/index.htmlThe Great Plains Operator Theory Symposium (GPOTS) is an annual regional conference that has taken place since 1981. It brings together a diverse group of mathematicians whose primary research interest is in operator algebras, operator theory and related areas. A sampling of the topics presented in the 2018 event is given by the following: the corona problem, Hilbert modules, noncommutative function theory, deformation rigidity, free probability, subfactors and fusion categories, classification of C*-algebras, C*-algebras and dynamical systems, the Baum-Connes conjecture, noncommutative differential geometry, index theory, operator spaces and applications, and logic and operator algebras. The expected attendance is between 100 and 150 participants. The conference program provides ample opportunity for graduate students, postdocs, and other young scientists to present their work.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
