Ainar Drews, PhD , ITA

Abstract:  In a recent work with R. Conti (La Sapienza Univ., Rome), we have introduced a notion of positive definiteness for certain functions associated to a (unital, discrete) C*-dynamical system. We will sketch the proof of a Gelfand-Raikov type theorem for such functions and use it to construct complete positive maps on the full and the reduced C*-crossed products of the system. We will also explain how a natural definition of amenability for C*-dynamical systems emerges from our work.

A Scandinavian Gathering Around Remarkable Discrete Mathematics

Abstract: The talk will be on positive linear maps of the n x n matrices into itself, a topic which has become quite popular in quantum information theory.  The maps closest to physics are the completely positive ones. I?ll discuss an approximation by a completely positive map to a positive map via the trace , called the ¡°structural physical approximation¡±, the SPA of the map. Much of the talk will circle around a counter example  to a conjecture on the SPA.

Sofia Tirabassi (UiB), gives the Seminar in Algebra and Algebraic Geometry:

Title: Characterization of product of theta divisors

Abstract: This is a joint work with Z. Jiang and M. Lahoz. We give a new cohomological characterization of product of theta divisors in principally polarized abelian varieties and we completely classify n-varieities with of maximal albanese dimension and with irregularity 2n-1 and euler characteristic 1, extending lower dimensional results of Hacon--Pardini. I will do my best to keep the first hour enjoyable and entertaining also for graduate students with background in algebraic geometry (and related areas).

Karl Ove Moene, Professor - Centre for the Study of Equality, Social Organization, and Performance

Abstract: In the classification program for C*-algebras some of the usual assumptions put on the algebras are that they are simple or have at most have finitely many ideals. We often also want algebras that have real rank 0. In this talk we will discuss how to classify certain graph algebras with uncountably many ideals and without real rank 0. There will be examples and applications. Joint work with S. Eilers, G. Restorff, and E. Ruiz
