The 2017 Great Plains Operator Theory Symposium

该奖项提供资金，帮助支付将于2017年5月22日至26日在德克萨斯州沃斯堡的德克萨斯基督教大学校园举行的2017年大平原运营商理论研讨会(GPOTS)的参与者的费用。这次会议是2017年版的大平原算子理论研讨会，该系列自1981年以来一直是一年一度的主要算子代数和算子理论会议。这次会议将具有广泛的范围，并对整个算子理论和算子代数社区感兴趣，预计将有100多人参加。2017年会议将重点讨论的议题包括：日冕问题；希尔伯特模；非交换函数论；形变-刚性；子因子和融合范畴；C*-代数的分类；C*-代数和动力系统：Baum-Connes猜想；非交换微分几何；指标理论；算子空间。会议的形式包括全体讲座和贡献演讲，使与会者能够从世界领导人那里了解最新发展，并为研究生、博士后和初级研究员提供充分的机会介绍他们的工作。

This award provides funding to help defray the expenses of participants in the "2017 Great Plains Operator Theory Symposium (GPOTS)" that will be held from May 22-26, 2017, on the campus of Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas. This conference is the 2017 version of the Great Plains Operator Theory Symposium, a series that has been an annual major operator algebras and operator theory meeting since 1981. The meeting will be of broad scope and of interest to the full operator theory and operator algebras communities with well over 100 participants expected. Topics to be highlighted in the 2017 meeting include the following: the corona problem; Hilbert modules; noncommutative function theory; deformation-rigidity; subfactors and fusion categories; classification of C*-algebras; C*-algebras and dynamical systems: the Baum-Connes conjecture; noncommutative differential geometry; index theory; operator spaces. The format of the meeting with plenary lectures and contributed talks allows participants to learn of the latest developments from world leaders and provides ample opportunity for graduate students, postdocs, and junior investigator to present their work.
