Automorphisms and Invariants of Operator Algebras

The MATH Building, UCPH

18-21 October 2021

This conference is a key component of a Danish research network "Automorphisms and Invariants of Operator Algebras“ supported by the Independent Research Fund Denmark. (Originally planned for 2020).

We cordially invite everybody with an interest in the focal area to participate. There will be no conference fee, but we are regrettably only able to offer financial support for speakers and network members.

The conference will take place as a hybrid event for which we hope to see as many speakers and other colleagues in Copenhagen as possible, but where all talks are also streamed for participants worldwide. Registration is only necessary for participants who "have feet on the ground" in Copenhagen, as all talks will be made available online through this website.

Venue and transportation

The conference will take place at the Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. See detailed instructions on how to reach Copenhagen and the conference venue.

Tickets and passes for public transportation can be bought at the Copenhagen Airport and every train or metro station. You can find the DSB ticket office on your right-hand side as soon as you come out of the arrival area of the airport. DSB has an agreement with 7-Eleven, so many of their shops double as selling points for public transportation.

A journey planner in English is available.

More information on the "find us" webpage.

Accommodation

We arrange accommodation for all speakers. Other participants are requested to make their own arrangements.

We recommend Hotel 9 Små Hjem, which is pleasant and inexpensive and offers rooms with a kitchen. Other inexpensive alternatives are CabInn, which has several locations in Copenhagen: the Hotel City (close to Tivoli), Hotel Scandivania (Frederiksberg, close to the lakes), and Hotel Express (Frederiksberg) are the most convenient locations; the latter two are 2.5-3 km from the math department. Somewhat more expensive – and still recommended – options are Hotel Nora and Ibsen's Hotel.

An additional option is to combine a stay at the CabInn Metro Hotel with a pass for Copenhagen (efficient and reliable) public transportation. See information about tickets & prices.
