2004 West Coast Operator Algebra Seminar

【摘要】boersema本提案是为2004年10月23日至24日在西雅图大学举行的第12届西海岸算子代数研讨会（WCOAS）提供部分支持。WCOAS已成为美国西部和加拿大算子代数学界的传统。预计参加人数约为40-50人，包括来自北美西部各地的研究生、博士后和教员研究人员。该研讨会将由该地区和其他地区的知名和年轻的研究人员就当前的主题进行几个小时的演讲。西海岸算子代数研讨会的智力优势在于：(1)它为研究人员提供了一个传播他们自己成果的机会；(2)研究人员有机会了解他人的最新研究，并了解当前的工作；(3)通过给研究人员提供会面和相互讨论工作的机会，促进合作研究。WCOAS更广泛的影响是：(1)它将鼓励和培养研究生和博士后，让他们有机会展示自己的工作，了解最新的工作，并与算子代数领域的知名研究人员会面；(2)它创造了一个有凝聚力的算子代数家区域社区；(3)促进研究型大学的教师和学生与主要本科院校的教师和学生之间的联系。这项提议是为了部分支持东南-大西洋地区微分方程会议，该会议自1981年以来每年召开一次。会议的主要目的是汇集研究生、年轻研究者和更资深的研究人员。该计划的特色是由著名数学家进行的全体会议，以及年轻参与者的贡献论文的平行会议。这笔资金将主要用于支持研究生和年轻博士的旅行。

AbstractBoersemaThis proposal is for partial support of the 12th West Coast Operator Algebra Seminar (WCOAS), to be held at Seattle University on October 23 - 24, 2004. The WCOAS has become a tradition among the operator algebraists in the western United States and Canada. The expected number of participants is approximately 40-50, including graduate students, postdocs, and faculty researchers coming from all over western North America. The seminar will feature several hour-long talks on current topics given by both established and younger researchers in the region and beyond. The intellectual merits of the West Coast Operator Algebra Seminar are that (1) it is an opportunity for researchers to disseminate their own results; (2) it is an opportunity for researchers learn about recent research of others and to stay abreast of current work; (3) it fosters collaborative research by giving researchers the opportunity to meet and discuss their work with each other. The broader impacts of WCOAS are that (1) it will encourage and nurture graduate students and postdocs by giving them the opportunity to present their own work, learn about recent work, and meet established researchers in operator algebras; (2) it creates a cohesive regional community of operator algebraists; (3) it fosters connections between the faculty and students at research universities and those at primarily undergraduate institutions. The proposal is for partial support of the Southeastern-Atlantic Regional Conference on Differential Equations that has met annually since 1981. The primary objective of the meeting is to bring together graduate students, young investigators, and more senior researchers. The program features plenary talks by eminent mathematicians, with parallel sessions of contributed papers by younger participants. The funding will be used primarily for the travel support of graduate students and young PhDs.
