Recent Announcements from the Operator Algebraist Directory

This page contains a list of some of the announcements recently carried in updates to the Operator algebraist email directory (maintained by N. Christopher Phillips). The text files of some of the announcements are stored, arranged by the categories conferences, job ads, miscellaneous announcements, and announcements related to the list, essentially as they were distributed. In addition, the list below contains links to further information for some of the announcements, and also links to announcements that have never been distributed with an update to the directory.

Conferences (in order of conference date)

Several of the links are permanent links to the websites of ongoing conference series. See the conference section near the bottom of the Operator Algebra Resources page for a more complete list of websites associated with ongoing conference series.

2009 FALL WESTERN SECTION MEETING, 7--8 Nov. 2009, UC Riverside, Special Session on Operator Algebras, Marta Asaeda, Aviv Censor, Adrian Ioana (organizers). Conference website.
ICM 2010 SATELLITE CONFERENCE ON OPERATOR ALGEBRAS (Partha, Vijay and Sunder; for email addresses, see the directory):
This concerns a possible satellite conference on Operator Algebras we want to try and organise in Chennai just before ICM 2010 (slated for Hyderabad). The reason this is sent so far in advance is that we hope you will (a) mark the period July/August 2010 down in your calendar, and reserve it for South India, and (b) if there is a reasonable probability of your making it here then, inform us as such - since this information will help us in planning and in suitably impressing the funding agencies we will need to approach later with our proposal.
The exact topics (in operator algebras) covered at our conference will be dictated by the people who agree to come, and to a lesser extent by the fact that the interests of people in these parts lie mostly in subfactors, non-commutative geometry and non-commutative dynamics.

Miscellaneous announcements (in reverse of order received)

Call for Papers for Banach Journal of Mathematical Analysis
The Banach Journal of Mathematical Analysis (BJMA) is an international and peer-reviewed electronic journal presenting papers on functional analysis and its Applications. The journal focuses on (but is not limited to) Hilbert spaces, normed spaces, normed algebras, C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras, normed modules, linear operators, operator algebras, topological algebras, operator spaces, matrix analysis, normed aspects of functional equations, stability of functional equations, approximation theory, norm and operator inequalities, homology of Banach algebras, harmonic analysis, Fourier analysis, spectral theory, non-commutative geometry, and significant applications. The journal is composed of original research and survey articles. BJMA is indexed or reviewed by Zentralblatt für Mathematik, MathSciNet, Directory of Open Access Journals and Ulrich's Periodicals Directory.
