Subject matter:
Operator algebras, including their links with groups and group actions,
constitute one of only a few major research strengths common to
both Canadian and Brazilian mathematics, and the impetus to the
extended workshop was provided by a recent collaboration agreement
signed by the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (Florianópolis,
Brazil) and the University of Ottawa. However, the workshop is open
to everyone, and everybody is welcome.
Format:
There will be two mini-courses of three one-hour lectures each,
given by two main speakers. Also, there will be one-hour lectures
and 40-minute lectures given by invited speakers.
There will be a special session in David Handelman's honour on
the occasion of his forthcoming 60th birthday
Main speakers:
Ruy Exel (Universidade Federal de
Santa Catarina, Brazil) and Vadim Kaimanovich (University
of Ottawa, Canada).
