Camila Fabre Sehnem (Florianopolis), Brasil, will give a talk with title :

On $C^*$-algebras associated to product systems

Eleni Rosalina Andrinopoulou (Department of Epidemiology, Erasmus University Medical Center of Rotterdam, NED) will give a talk on February 12th at 14:15 in the Erling Sverdrups plass, Niels Henrik Abels hus, 8th floor.

In this talk, I will discuss how moduli spaces of Morse flow trees in Legendrian contact homology (LCH) can be oriented in a coherent and computable manner, obtaining a Morse-theoretic way to compute LCH with integer coefficients. This is built on the machinery of capping disks, and I will briefly explain how different systems of capping disks affect the orientations. This, in turn, uses the fact that an exact Lagrangian cobordism with cylindrical Legendrian ends induces a morphism between the LCH-complexes of the ends, which can be proven to hold also with integer coefficients.  

Vera Djordjilovic (Department of Biostatistics, University of Oslo) will give a talk on January 29th at 14:15 in the Erling Sverdrups plass, Niels Henrik Abels hus, 8th floor.

Professor O.I. Klesov from National Technical University of Ukraine "Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Politechnic Institute" will give a mini-course on the following topic:

We discuss the notion of regularly varying functions  and some applications in probability theory. Some of the topics to be discussed are in order. Note however that not all topics will be discussed in full detail. The final choice of topics will depend on the time available.

Hans Rudolf Künsch (Department of Mathematics, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Zurich, SUI) will give a talk on January 18th at 14:15 in the Erling Sverdrups plass, Niels Henrik Abels hus, 8th floor.

Li-Chun Zhang (Department of Social Statistics and Demographics, University of Southampton --- Department of Mathematics, University of Oslo) will give a talk on January 15th at 14:15 in the Erling Sverdrups plass, Niels Henrik Abels hus, 8th floor.

With the beginning of the new year, we kick-off with an informal workshop with three presentations.

Speaker: Eirik Valseth (South Dakota School of Mines & Technology) Title: Automatic Variationally Stable Analysis for Finite Element Computations Abstract

Connes' embedding problem is one of the long standing open problems in Operator Algebras. Since it was raised in 1976, several equivalent formulations, seemingly unrelated to it, have been found, also in other areas of mathematics. In particular, it is equivalent to the (weak) Tsirelson problem in Quantum Information Theory. 

The aim of the winter school is to upgrade the knowledge of all operator algebraists at NTNU and UiO, in particular master and PhD students, on these important topics and to review some of the recent developments.  

This course is a part of the project "Pure Mathematics in Norway, 2018-2022", supported by the Trond Mohn Foundation (earlier called the Bergen Research Foundation) and the Tromsø Research Foundation.    

An abstract of the talk is available here.

Hans J. Skaug (Department of Mathematics, University of Bergen) and Mike Spagat (Department of Economics, Royal Holloway University of London) will both give a talk on December 6th at 14:15 and 15:15 in the Seminar Room 819, Niels Henrik Abels hus, 8th floor.
