Twinned Conference — C*-Algebras and Tensor Categories

This event will be a twinned transatlantic conference on “C*-algebras and tensor categories”, promoting new connections between C*-algebra theory and tensor categories/subfactors - an interface with tremendous, yet barely explored, potential. The two locations of the conference will be the Fields Institute in Canada and ICMS in Edinburgh.

Many major breakthroughs in the classification of C*-algebras of finite topological dimension have been underpinned by the large-scale transfer of von Neumann techniques on multiple levels. The overarching objective of this conference is to bring together researchers at the interface of the rapidly developing areas of the structure and classification of C*-algebras and subfactor theory/tensor categories.
