IGA/AMSI Workshop

Representation Theory and Operator Algebras

This interdisciplinary workshop will be about
aspects of representation theory (in the sense of Harish-Chandra),
aspects of noncommutative geometry (in the sense of Alain Connes)
and aspects of operator K-theory (in the sense of Gennadi Kasparov).


1-5 July 2013



Venue: Conference Room 7.15, Level 7, Innova 21 building (see on the map).
