Fabio Divino (University of Molise, Italy) will talk about

MCMC computation for Bayesian modeling of presence-only data

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).
