Thematic Program on Set Theory and Analysis
September 1 - December 31, 2002
Description
From its very beginnings, set theory has enjoyed a relationship with analysis which, while at times close and at others distant, has always allowed for the possibility of symbiosis. During the Fall of 2002 the Fields Institute will hosts a thematic program devoted to fostering the interaction between these two areas. Internationally recognized experts from both disciplines will be on site from September 2002 through to December 2002.
The format of the program will include at least two short, but intense thematic workshops. One will focus on set theoretic techniques in the theory of Banach spaces and an other will concentrate on Borel relations and dynamical systems. While some participants will actively participate throughout the semster, others will be brought in for a specific workshop. Graduate students and post-doctoral fellows on site for the entire program will be exposed to a wide range of research topics, while invited specialists will be able to contribute in their area of expertise. The program will also incorporate, whenever possible, mini-courses intended to quickly bring graduate students to the frontiers of knowledge on particular subjects.
