OVERVIEW
The series of workshops is the 6th in the sequence of annual workshops
traditionally held in the month of May at Nipissing University. Among
our speakers, we expect to have a number of prominent mathematicians
from Canada, USA and abroad. In the past, the topics of workshops
were clustered primarily around General and Geometric Topology and
related areas. We plan to have a broader range of topics covered during
the proposed workshops. The main theme of the workshops will be in
the areas where Topology, Algebra, Analysis and Dynamical Systems
intersect.
The workshop will be for five days. There will be three one-hour talks
each day. Some of the speakers will give a series of lectures and
some may give only one lecture. However, the format of the workshops
is designed to maximize the interaction among the participants beyond
the lectures.
Analysis, Topological Groups and Algebras
Topics may include:
-Ranks of C*-algebras - a problem of defining dimension of a C*-algebra
-Algebras of Functions on Compacta - relations between algebraic
properties of the algebra of continuous functions on compactum and
topological and dimensional properties of underlying compactum
-Harmonic Analysis on non-locally compact groups
-Random matrices and free probability
-Amenable Equivalence Relations and their full groups
-*Complex Dynamics and Topology*/ /- Julia sets for complex rational
maps
