EXC 2044 - B3: Operator algebras & mathematical physics
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Subproject in DFG-joint project hosted at University of Münster
Duration at the University of Münster: 01/01/2019 - 31/12/2025 | 1st Funding period
Description
The development of operator algebras was largely motivated by physics since they provide the right mathematical framework for quantum mechanics. Since then, operator algebras have turned into a subject of their own. We will pursue the many fascinating connections to (functional) analysis, algebra, topology, group theory and logic, and eventually connect back to mathematical physics via random matrices and non-commutative geometry.
Keywords: operator algebra; mathematical physics; C*-algebras; generalised fixed-point algebras; exotic group algebras; crossed products; expanders; non-commutative geometry; random matrices
