Bartosz K. Kwaśniewski (University of Southern Denmark, Odense) will talk on: Topological aperiodicity for product systems of C*-correspondences

Abstract:We introduce a semigroup of multivalued maps dual to a product system of $C^*$-correspondences over an Ore semigroup. Under a certain aperiodicity condition on the dual semigroup we obtain a uniqueness theorem and a simplicity criterion for the associated Cuntz-Pimsner algebra. These results generalize similar statements for crossed products by groups (R. J. Archbold, J. S. Spielberg) and Exel’s crossed products (R. Exel, A. Vershik). They also give interesting conditions for topological higher rank graphs, and apply to the new Cuntz $C^*$-algebra $\mathcal{Q}_\mathbb{N}$ arising from the `$ax+b$'-semigroup over natural numbers. (Based on joint work with Wojciech Szymański.)

Makoto Yamashita, Ochanomizu University, will give a talk with title: Drinfeld center and representation theory for monoidal categories

Abstract: Motivated by the recently found relation between central completely positive multipliers and the spherical unitary representations of the Drinfeld double for discrete quantum groups, we construct and analyze the representations of fusion algebra of rigid C*-tensor category from the unitary half-braidings. Through the correspondence of Drinfeld center and the generalized Longo-Rehren construction in subfactor theory, these representations are also related to Popa’s theory of correspondences and subfactors. This talk is based on joint work with Sergey Neshveyev.

Christian Voigt (Glasgow) will give a talk with title: The structure of quantum permutation groups

Abstract: Quantum permutation groups, introduced by Wang, are a quantum analogue of permutation groups. These quantum groups have a surprisingly rich structure, and they appear naturally in a variety of contexts, including combinatorics, operator algebras, and free probability. In this talk I will give an introduction to these quantum groups, and review some results on their structure. I will then present a computation of the K-groups of the C*-algebras associated with quantum permutation groups, relying on methods from the Baum-Connes conjecture.

Modular forms are certain complex-analytic functions on the upper-half plane. They can also be interpreted as giving linear-algebraic invariants of elliptic curves, perhaps equipped with some extra structure, and in this way they reveal their algebraic-geometric nature. One of the most fundamental modular forms is the Dedekind eta function. However, it seems that only recently has it been pinned down precisely what extra structure on an elliptic curve is needed to define eta. Namely, Deligne was able to express this extra structure in terms of the 2- and 3-power torsion of the elliptic curve. Deligne's proof, apparently, is computational. In this talk I'll describe a conjectural reinterpretation of Deligne's result, together with some supporting results and a hint at a possible conceptual proof. The reinterpretation is homotopy theoretic, the key being to think of an elliptic curve as giving a class in framed cobordism. This directly connects the number "24" which often appears in the study of eta to the 3rd stable stem in topology.
