Applications of Model Theory to Operator Algebras

该奖项用于支付将于2017年7月31日至8月4日在德克萨斯州休斯敦大学校园举行的“模型理论在算子代数中的应用”会议的与会者的旅费。这次会议将集中在算子代数模型理论的使用和数理逻辑在算子代数中分类问题的应用方面的重要最新发展。这次会议的目的是让非专家和年轻的研究人员了解这一版本的模型理论的基本概念，并向从事算子代数其他领域工作的专家通报最新进展。这将通过以色列·法拉的一系列五次专题讲座和由经验丰富的和初级研究人员组成的其他全体研究讲座来实现。所有具有泛函分析和算符代数基本知识的研究生和非专家都可以参加专题讲座。这次会议将为早期职业数学家提供一个特殊的机会，让他们在逻辑、集合论和算子代数的界面上了解这些最新的发展。将特别注意确保任职人数不足的群体的成员参加会议。这次会议将对算符代数领域的未来产生重大影响，并将扩大和影响这一领域的初级研究人员的工作。

This award provides funding to help defray the travel expenses of participants in the conference "Applications of Model Theory to Operator Algebras" that will be held from July 31 - August 4, 2017, on the campus of the University of Houston, Houston, Texas.This conference will focus on important recent developments in the use of model theory of operator algebras and the applications of mathematical logic to classification problems in operator algebras. The goals of this conference are to inform non-experts and young researchers of the fundamental concepts of this version of model theory and to update experts who work in other areas of operator algebras of the latest advances. This will be accomplished by a series of five featured lectures by Israel Farah and other plenary research talks presented by a mixture of experienced and junior researchers. The featured lectures will be accessible to all graduate students and non-experts with a basic knowledge of functional analysis and operator algebras. This meeting will provide a special opportunity for early career mathematicians to learn about these recent developments at the interface of logic and set theory and operator algebras. Special attention will be given to ensure the participation of members of underrepresented groups in the conference. The conference will have significant impact on the future of the field of operator algebras and to will broaden and influence the work of junior investigators in this area.
