<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Dear All,<br><br>You are cordially invited to IMBM on <span tabindex="0" class=""><span class="">May 15-16, 2015</span></span>, for a workshop on the Kadison-Singer problem. Details are attached.<br>
<br>
The Kadison-Singer problem, formulated in 1959 by Richard Kadison and Isidore Singer was one of the outstanding problems in operator algebras. Over the years, researchers in diverse areas of mathematics realized that this problem was equivalent to several other concrete problems.<br>
<br>This problem was solved in 2013 by Adam Marcus, Daniel Spielman and Nikhil Srivastava.Their proof contains a variety of very deep insights and their techniques are likely to be of interest to people working not merely in functional analysis, but also areas like harmonic analysis, signal processing, graph theory and random<br>
matrix theory.<br><br></div>Warm regards,<br></div>Mohan Ravichandran<br></div>
