The 2018 East Coast Operator Algebra Symposium

该奖项提供资金，以帮助支付将于2018年10月13日和14日在德克萨斯州沃斯堡的德克萨斯基督教大学校园内举行的2018年东海岸运营商代数研讨会的参与者的费用。关于这次会议的更多信息可以在网站上找到：http://faculty.tcu.edu/jcarrion/ecoas2018/.This会议是东海岸算子代数研讨会（ECOAS）的第十六期，该系列每年汇集了一批在算子代数理论，C*-代数和冯诺依曼代数以及非交换几何方面具有广泛研究兴趣的数学家。2018年的一些重点领域将集中在以下主题：子因子理论，变形/刚性理论，自由概率，C*-代数的分类（埃利奥特计划），诺维科夫猜想的C*-代数方法，C*-代数和动力系统，鲍姆-康纳斯猜想，非交换微分几何和指数理论。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。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识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 2018 East Coast Operator Algebra Symposium that will be held on October 13 and 14, 2018, on the campus of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. Additional information about this meeting can be found at the website: http://faculty.tcu.edu/jcarrion/ecoas2018/.This conference is the sixteenth installment of the East Coast Operator Algebra Symposium (ECOAS), a series that annually brings together a diverse group of mathematicians with broad research interests in the theory of operator algebras, both C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras as well as noncommutative geometry. Some of the 2018 areas of emphasis will be on the following topics: the theory of subfactors, deformation/rigidity theory, free probabilty, classification of C*-algebras (the Elliott program), the C*-algebra approach to the Novikov conjecture, C*-algebras and dynamical systems, the Baum-Connes conjecture, noncommutative differential geometry, and index theory. 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.
