Canadian Abstract Harmonic Analysis Symposium
Speakers
Details
Abstract harmonic analysis is the area of mathematics that deals with locally compact groups, their representations, and the Banach algebras associated with them. It leads naturally to problems in more general Banach and C*-algebras, motivates questions in quantum groups, and is related to some questions in quantum computing.
This research area has had a strong presence in Canada's mathematical community for several decades. Since 1997, CAHAS has been successful in bringing together researchers, from Canada and abroad, in abstract harmonic analysis and related areas, such as Banach algebras, operator algebras, operator spaces and quantum groups. Our goal is to continue to do so.
2016 Keynote Speakers:
Matthew Kennedy, University of Waterloo
Ian Putnam, University of Victoria
