Interactions between operator algebras and dynamical systems

This workshop focuses on the interactions between dynamical systems and operator algebras. Dynamical systems were introduced as a mathematical framework for analysing time-dependant physical systems. Operator algebras stem from the quantisation of classical mechanics, and provide an algebraic structure for studying dynamical systems. This deep connection between traditionally separate fields has inspired a highly successful, emerging area of research.

International leaders from both fields will meet to discuss trends and open problems. This will forge strong links with the international community, and will introduce ECRs to an exciting area of new research interaction, thus fostering the next generation of researchers.
