Magnus Landstad (NTNU) will give a talk with title: Exotic group C*-algebras and noncommutative duality.
Abstract: It has long been known that for a (non-amenable) locally compact group G there are many C*-algebras between the full and reduced group C*-algebra. First I will discuss to what extent these intermediate algebras can be called group C*-algebras. Then I will look at algebras between the full and reduced crossed product, and the various types of coactions (full, maximal, normal) a group can have. To make arguments a little simpler, we shall assume G to be discrete.

Håkon Dahle, forsker, Institutt for teoretisk astrofysikk.
Abstract: In groundbreaking work Thomason establishes a fundamental comparison between Bott-inverted algebraic K-theory and étale K-theory with finite coefficients. Over the complex numbers, Walker has shown how to deduce Thomason's theorem using a semi-topological K-homology theory. In joint work with J. Hornbostel we establish an equivariant generalization of Walker's Fundamental Comparison Theorem and use it to deduce the equivariant version of Thomason's theorem for complex varieties with action by a finite group.

Yoshiko Ogata, University of Tokyo, will give a talk with title: Approximating macroscopic observables in quantum spin systems with commuting matrices
Abstract: Macroscopic observables in a quantum spin system are spatial means of local observables in a UHF algebra. One of their properties is that they commute asymptotically as the system size goes to infinity. It is not true that any given set of asymptotically commuting matrices can be approximated by commuting ones in the norm topology. The main statement of this talk is that this is true for macroscopic observables.

Jyotishman Bhowmick, UiO, will give a talk with title: Deformation of operator algebras by Borel cocycles
Abstract:Given a coaction of a locally compact group on a C^* algebra and fixing a cocycle on G, we discuss a method to deform A into another C^* algebra, thus generalizing the works of Kasprzak, Yamashita and Rieffel. This is a joint work with S. Neshveyev and A.S. Sangha.

Stuart White (University of Glasgow, UK) will talk on "Z-stability and central sequences".
Abstract: Over recent years, tensorial absorption of the Jiang-Su algebra $\mathcal Z$ has become a particularly prominent property of $C^*$-algebras. In this talk, I'll explain what this means, and why this is the case; I'll also discuss methods for establishing ``$\mathcal Z$''-stability using central sequence, and some more general properties of central sequence algebras. The talk will end with a recent result showing that for a simple separable unital nuclear C*-algebra, whose extremal traces are compact and of finite covering dimension $\mathcal Z$-stability can be detected by a comparison property of the Cuntz semigroup (this result is joint work with Andrew Toms and Wilhelm Winter, which has also been independently discovered by Eberhard Kirchberg and Mickael Rørdam, and by Yasuhiko Sato).
