Classification of Operator Algebras: Complexity, Rigidity and Dynamics

Organisers:

Søren Eilers (University of Copenhagen)

Description

The classification theory for several classes of operator algebras has made giant strides forward in recent years. A common theme in many of these improvements is that known results have been strengthened to cover classes of operator algebras associated in natural ways to dynamical systems, leading to a much deeper understanding of what features of the underlying dynamics are reflected in the operator algebras and their invariants and to the discoveries that the relation between dynamics and operator algebras is characterised by a surprising level of rigidity. The session will seek to address these developments.
