点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This award provides partial support for participants in the 2022 East Coast Operator Algebra Symposium (ECOAS), which will be held October 22-23, 2022 on the Michigan State University campus in East Lansing, MI. The symposium expects between fifty and seventy participants, including many graduate students and postdocs. This will be the nineteenth annual meeting in the East Coast Operator Algebra Symposium series. The first meeting was held at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN in the Fall of 2003, and since then, meetings have been held each Fall. The conference focuses on operator algebras (C* and von Neumann algebras) and noncommutative geometry, with applications to a wide range of areas, including ergodic theory, number theory, representation theory, and mathematical physics. The ECOAS enables participants to become acquainted with the forefront of research in operator algebras and noncommutative geometry and neighboring areas, while also providing early-career researchers with the opportunity to present their own work and to network and interact with each other as well as with more experienced researchers.
