Conference: Canadian Operator Symposium 2023

这项NSF奖项将为美国的参与者提供部分支持，让他们参加2023年5月15日至19日在加拿大安大略省伦敦市西安大略省大学校园举行的加拿大运营商研讨会(COSY)。这个由美国数学家定期参加的国际会议将汇集来自世界各地的顶尖专家，讨论该领域的重要新发展，并为处于各个职业生涯阶段的数学家提供机会，介绍他们的工作并提出未来研究的方向。该奖项将为美国的早期职业研究人员、代表性不足的团体的成员以及没有得到NSF其他资助的研究人员提供参加会议的机会。COSY成立于1972年，是一个专注于算子理论、算子代数和应用的会议，现在是加拿大致力于这些主题的主要年度会议。今年的计划以量子信息论系列讲座为基础，将包括10-20个50分钟的全体讲座，以及大约30个跨越不同数学领域的研究人员贡献的演讲。主题将包括算子代数的几个活跃的当前感兴趣的领域，强调von Neumann代数的结构理论的最新发展和新兴方向；子因子和融合范畴；服从C*-代数的分类；非交换几何；以及算子代数与动力学、逻辑、集合论和量子信息论之间的联系。更多细节可在http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/activities/22-23/COsy2023.This上查阅，该奖项反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并已通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This NSF award will provide partial support for U.S.-based participants to attend the 2023 installment of the Canadian Operator Symposium (COSy), to take place May 15-19, 2023, on the campus of the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada. This international conference, which is regularly attended by U.S.-based mathematicians, will bring together leading experts from around the world to discuss important new developments in the field and provide opportunities for mathematicians at all career stages to present their work and propose directions for future research. The award will provide US-based early-career researchers, members of underrepresented groups, and researchers not otherwise funded by NSF the opportunity to participate in the conference. COSy was established in 1972 as a conference focused on operator theory, operator algebras, and applications and is now the premier annual conference in Canada devoted to these themes. This year’s program is anchored by a lecture series on quantum information theory, and will include 10-20 fifty-minute plenary lectures, as well as approximately 30 contributed talks by researchers spanning a variety of mathematical areas. Topics will include several areas of active current interest in operator algebras, emphasizing recent developments and emerging directions in the structure theory of von Neumann algebras; subfactors and fusion categories; the classification of amenable C*-algebras; noncommutative geometry; and connections between operator algebras and dynamics, logic, set theory, and quantum information theory. Additional details are available at http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/activities/22-23/COsy2023.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.
