GOAq Day: Groups, Operator Algebras and Quantum Event

This event is aimed at Master's and PhD students, postdocs and everyone else with an interest in groups, operator algebras, quantum information and their fruitful interplay.

The deadline for registration is March 5th.

Speakers

Eric Carlen (Rutgers University)

Vern Paulsen (University of Waterloo)

Jesse Peterson (University of Waterloo)

Dimitri Shlyakhtenko (UCLA)

Walter van Suijlekom (Radboud University)

Short contributed talks by early-career researchers will be announced later.

Programme

The programme will take place between 9:00 and 18:00 with the dinner afterward. The schedule will be posted at a later date.

The mini-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. Room numbers will be announced later.

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.

Accommodation

We will arrange hotel rooms for the speakers and any early-career participants who are selected for funding. These rooms will be booked for March 19-21.

All other participants we kindly ask to arrange their own accommodation.

We recommend Hotel 9 Små Hjem, which is pleasant and inexpensive and offers rooms with a kitchen. Other inexpensive alternatives are Steel House Copenhagen (close to city centre), and CabInn, which has several locations in Copenhagen: the Hotel City (close to Tivoli), Hotel Scandinavia (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 public transportation (efficient and reliable).
