Support for US participants in the 2012 West Coast Operator Algebra Seminar

该奖项提供支持，以支付参加2012年西海岸运营商代数研讨会（WCOAS）会议的与会者的费用，该研讨会将于2012年10月20日至21日期间在俄勒冈州大学举行。2012年WCOAS将为与会者提供机会，听取以下大部分领域的进展：自由概率;子因子;算子空间;量子群;自同态半群; C*-代数的分类;非交换几何;图C*-代数;和非交换动力系统。周末的研讨会将有大约10个关于当前主题的讲座，由初级和高级研究人员提供。WCOAS是美国西部运算符代数学家社区的年度论坛。它为研究人员提供了一个传播自己的成果的机会，为研究人员提供了一个了解其他人最近研究并了解当前工作的机会，并通过让研究人员有机会相互见面和讨论他们的工作来促进合作研究。WCOAS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，了解最近的工作，并满足运营商代数既定的研究人员。它有助于创建和维护一个有凝聚力的区域社区的运营商algebraists，并促进教师和学生之间的联系，在研究型大学和那些主要是本科院校。

This award provides support to defray expenses of participants in the 2012 meeting of the West Coast Operator Algebra Seminar (WCOAS), which will be held at the University of Oregon during the period October 20-21, 2012. The 2012 WCOAS will provide attendees the opportunity to hear of progress in most of the following fields: free probability; subfactors; operator spaces; quantum groups; semigroups of endomorphisms; classification of C*-algebras; noncommutative geometry; graph C*-algebras; and noncommutative dynamical systems. The weekend seminar will feature approximately ten talks on current topics, delivered by a mix of junior and senior researchers.WCOAS is the one annual forum addressing the community of operator algebraists in the western United States. It provides an opportunity for researchers to disseminate their own results, furnishes an opportunity for researchers to learn about recent research of others and to stay abreast of current work, and fosters collaborative research by giving researchers the opportunity to meet and discuss their work with one another. WCOAS encourages and nurtures 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. It helps create and maintain a cohesive regional community of operator algebraists, and fosters connections between the faculty and students at research universities and those at primarily undergraduate institutions.
