Workshop on Applications to Operator Algebras
Description
This workshop will explore connections between set theory and C*-algebras, as well as the emerging connections with von Neumann algebras. Some long-standing problems from the theory of C*-algebras were recently solved by using increasingly sophisticated set-theoretic tools. Emphasis will be put on applications of forcing to still unsolved problems, such as the general Stone-Weierstrass problem or the consistency of a positive answer to Naimark's problem. Part of the workshop will be devoted to the emerging connections between the classication problems in operator algebras and the abstract classication program in descriptive set theory.
