West Coast Operator Algebra Seminar

该奖项是对将于2009年10月17日至18日在里诺内华达大学举行的第十六届西海岸运营商代数研讨会(WCOAS)的部分支持。这将为演讲者、研究生和博士后提供完全的旅行支持，并为其他参与者提供部分支持。预计约有60名与会者，其中包括约25名研究生和博士后，将参加周末的研讨会，其中将有9次关于当前主题的50分钟演讲。WCOAS是美国西部算符代数学家的传统。它为研究人员提供了传播他们自己的成果的机会；为研究人员提供了一个机会，让他们了解其他人的最新研究并了解当前的工作；通过让研究人员有机会见面并相互讨论他们的工作，促进合作研究。它还鼓励和培养研究生和博士后，让他们有机会介绍自己的工作，了解最近的工作，并会见算子代数方面的知名研究人员；创建和维护具有凝聚力的区域算子代数学家社区；促进研究型大学和主要本科院校的教职员工和学生之间的联系。

AbstractDeaconuThis award is for partial support of the sixteenth West Coast Operator Algebra Seminar (WCOAS), to be held at University of Nevada, Reno on October 17-18 2009. This will provide full travel support for speakers, graduate students, and postdocs, and partial support for other participants. It is expected that approximately 60 participants, including some 25 graduate students and postdocs, to attend the weekend seminar, which will feature nine 50-minute talks on current topics. The WCOAS is a tradition among the operator algebraists in the western United States. It provides an opportunity for researchers to disseminate their own results; furnishing an opportunity for researchers learn about recent research of others and to stay abreast of current work; fostering collaborative research by giving researchers the opportunity to meet and discuss their work with one another. It also offers encouragement and nurturing of 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; creation and maintenance of a cohesive regional community of operator algebraists; fostering connections between the faculty and students at research universities and those at primarily undergraduate institutions.
