Minimal dynamical systems with prescribed K-theory

Abstract: I will speak about joint work in progress with Ian Putnam and Karen Strung. The goal of the project is to study the existence of minimal homeomorphisms on compact metric spaces. In particular, I will discuss partial results related to the following question: What is the range of the K-theory (or more generally the Elliott invariant) for minimal crossed products? Our approach to this question is based on the systematic construction of minimal homeomorphisms with prescribed K-theoretic properties.

Noncommutative Geometry in NYC

Series comments: Noncommutative Geometry studies an interplay between spatial forms and algebras with non-commutative multiplication. Our seminar welcomes talks in Number Theory, Geometric Topology and Representation Theory linked to the context of Operator Algebras. All talks are kept at the entry-level accessible to the graduate students and non-experts in the field. To join us click sju.webex.com/meet/nikolaei (5 min in advance) and igor DOT v DOT nikolaev AT gmail DOT com to subscribe/unsubscribe for the mailing list, to propose a talk or to suggest a speaker. Pending speaker's consent, we record and publish all talks at the hyperlink "video" on speaker's profile at the "Past talks" section. The slides can be posted by providing the organizers with a link in the format "myschool.edu/~myfolder/myslides.pdf". The duration of talks is 1 hour plus or minus 10 minutes.
