CRC mini course: Dynamics, comparison, and operator algebras
Speakers/Organizers: JProf. Dr. Shirly Geffen and Prof. Dr. David Kerr
Date: June 24 & July 1, 14:15-16:00 (two 45-minute talks on each of the two days), SRZ 216/217
The first Monday (June 24) will be a colloquium-style presentation in which we will explain the basic regularization phenomena in topological dynamics associated to structure of an additive (comparison, Rokhlin towers, density conditions) or multiplicative (entropy, mean dimension) nature and how these relate both technically and via analogy to properties of C*-algebras. On the second Monday (July 1) we will delve into the strategies for tackling some of the more subtle and vexing issues that arise in these connections between dynamics and C*-algebras.
