Adam Sørensen (UiO) will give a talk with title "Leavitt path algebras - a connection between pure algebra and operator algebras"

Abstract: We will discuss Leavitt path algebras, the purely algebraic cousins of the analytic graph C*-algebras. We will discuss similarities and differences, in particular recent work with Brownlowe on a purely algebraic version of Kirchberg's theorem that all exact C*-algebras embed into O_2.

As beyond-standard-model physics continues to elude discovery at the LHC, it becomes increasingly important to ask what we can learn about dark matter in a model-independent way. I will introduce the theory and usage of effective operators; these have become popular in recent years as a way to construct model-independent constraints on dark matter, but at LHC energies it is crucial to understand their significance and limitations, and how they can be used to compare the reach of vastly different experiments. With this in mind, I will also discuss the next step beyond effective operators, and techniques to link the search for missing energy with the much-sought-after Dark Matter.

CEES Extra Seminar by Matthieu Barbier and Emily Klein from Princeton University. 

Stein Andreas Bethuelsen (Universiteit Leiden) gives a lecture with the title: Random walks in (dynamic) random environment

Marco Matassa (UiO) will give a talk with title The Dolbeault-Dirac operator on quantized projective spaces, revisited

Abstract: In this talk I will present a new construction for the Dolbeault-Dirac operator on quantum projective spaces, the main result being the computation of its square. This clarifies and generalizes some results of D'Andrea-Dąbrowski. Moreover it gives a class of explicit examples of the general construction of Krähmer-Tucker Simmons, which deals with such operators on irreducible generalized flag manifolds.

Physics is probably the most successful science when it comes to describing how things behave, but it avoids interpreting the meaning or the intent of behaviours. In technology, especially IT, meaning and intent are at the top of the list when it comes to description, but IT fails to describe system dynamics convincingly. Promise Theory is an attempt to unify dynamical and semantic descriptions of systems, inspired by the successes of physics - and it sheds an interesting light on both fundamental physics and information science.
