Investigators

Abstract

This award provides funding to help defray the travel expenses of participants in the conference "Ergodic Theory and Operator Algebras" that will be held from June 5-9, 2017, on the campus of Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas. This conference will be run as one of the two concentration weeks in the 2017 installment of the Workshop in Analysis and Probability, which takes place each summer at Texas A&M University. Recent separate developments in both the field of ergodic theory and operator algebras means that a conference on the interaction of these subjects is timely. This conference is unique in that it will focus on the intersection of these areas and aimed at graduate students and junior researchers. Funds from this award will support the participation in this conference by U.S. graduate students and junior researchers without other sources of funding.
