March 28, 2014
Dear Colleague,
Greetings from Bangalore!
This is the first announcement of a workshop-cum-conference ''Recent
advances in Operator Theory and Operator Algebras - 2014'', OTOA-2014, to
be held at Indian Statistical Institute, Bangalore during December
9-December 19, 2014. This conference is a continuation of the bi-annual
series of OTOA's being held at ISI, Bangalore.
Workshop (9th to 13th December, 2014): The main speakers for the
workshop are:
(A) Prof. Hari Bercovici (Indiana University Bloomington, USA) on Schubert
Calculus and Operator Theory.
(B) Prof. David Kerr (Texas A&M University, USA) on Amenability, Soficity,
Entropy, and Operator Algebras.
(C) Prof. Vern Paulsen (University of Houston, USA) on Operator Systems
and their Tensor Products.
(D) Prof. Dan Timotin (Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy,
Romania) on Stable Polynomials and the Solution to the Kadison-Singer
Conjecture.
Conference (15th to 19th December, 2014): The conference intends to
cover all aspects of Operator Algebras and Operator Theory. We aim at having mostly
invited talks. There could be a few contributed talks from youngsters.
There will be plenty of time for discussions in a relaxed atmosphere. The
names of invited speakers will be on the conference website as soon as
they confirm to us that they are likely to come.
The workshop and the conference will intentionally be held in a largely
informal style.
There will be no registration fee. We hope to provide local hospitality
with guest house/hostel accommodation to all the participants who are not
from Bangalore. Domestic travel support can be provided to a limited
number of participants. Please let us know of your interest in
participation as soon as possible. The total number of participants would be limited. In
order to estimate accommodation requirements, do inform us as to whether you are interested
in participation in both the weeks or not. Formal registration for the
conference is to be done in due course.
Yours,
B. V. Rajarama Bhat (ISI, Bangalore)
Jaydeb Sarkar (ISI, Bangalore)
