The 48th Canadian Operator Symposium
Description
The Canadian Operator Symposium (COSy) was founded by Israel Halperin in 1972 and has grown into the main annual event for the Operator Algebras and Operator Theory community in Canada. This symposium draws leading researchers from around the world to discuss the most interesting recent developments, provides a forum for Canadian researchers to discuss their results, and gives a vital learning experience to young researchers entering the field.
