by Reidar G. Trønnes. More info here:

Welcome to the SECOND conference on Stochastics of Environmental and Financial Economics. The conference will bring together leading researchers in the fields of stochastic analysis and finance to discuss recent developments and challenges with an edge towards energy, environmental and financial markets.

The conference is also a celebration of professor Bernt Øksendal's 70th anniversary. On Thursday April 23 the program of the conference will mark this big event with a selected list of speakers.

The conference is organized by the Center of Advanced Studies (CAS), Stochastics of Environmental and Financial Economics. Scientific organizers: Fred Espen Benth and Giulia Di Nunno (UiO)

Réamonn Ó Buachalla (IMPAN) will give a talk with title: Noncommutative Kähler structures on quantum homogeneous spaces

Abstract:

Building on the definition of a noncommutative complex structure for a general algebra A, I will introduce the notion of a noncommutative Kähler structure for A. In the special case where A is a quantum homogeneous space, I show that many of the fundamental results of classical Kähler geometry follow from the existence of such a structure: Hodge decomposition, Serre duality, the Hard Lefschetz theorem, the Kähler identities, and collapse of the Frölicher spectral sequence at the first page. We then apply these results to Heckenberger and Kolb's differential calculus for quantum projective space, and show that they have cohomology groups of at least classical dimension. Time permitting, I will also discuss the relationship of this work to Connes proposal to study positive Hochschild cocycles as a starting point for noncommutative complex geometry, and Fröchlich, Grandjean, and Recknagel's definition of a Kähler spectral tuple.

Title: How to account for ‘more realistic’ aerosol properties in climate models and remote sensing retrievals?

Since 2010, Norsonic has in collaboration with Squarehead been selling acoustic camera for the commercial market. But who buys it, what is it used for, and what trends can we see in the future for beamforming systems?

Jørgen Grythe at Norsonic will try to address these points including a presentation of their range of products in beamforming, with a live demonstration of one of their acoustic cameras. Join this presentation to see what the mathematical equations governing array signal processing mean in the physical world, and the chance to get your hands on an acoustic camera to try it yourself.

Upcoming short presentation from MSc/PhD students in meteorology and oceanography:

Speaker: Ada Gjermundsen

Title: The buoyancy-driven ocean circulation with realistic bathymetry (EGU talk)

Supervisor: Joe LaCasce

Eduard Ortega, NTNU, will give a talk with title: Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorems

Abstract: I will make a little survey about Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorems and how they help to the study of the ideal structure of the rings to which one can apply them. In certain classes of (C*-)algebras this is described as topologically freeness or condition (L). However they are important classes of rings for which are not known Cuntz-Krieger type theorems. I will present a class of rings, that generalize Leavitt path algebras and Passman crossed products, for which I can totally characterize the Cuntz-Krieger uniqueness theorem.
