In this talk I will describe some recent results concerning the connection between the bubblesort sorting algorithm and certain integer sequences used to analyze various juggling patterns. The analysis leads to new results on the joint distribution...

The Summer School will feature three 10-Lecture Series: 1. The structure of nuclear C*-algebras (Brown and Toms) 2. KK-theory and the Baum-Connes conjecture (Emerson and Meyer) 3. C*-dynamical systems (Laca and Neshveyev)

The focus of the conference will be on applications of Kasparov's theory, non-commutative topology, index theory, representation theory, C*-dynamical systems from number theory, symmetries and equilibrium.

The Vlasov-Poisson System models a collisionless plasma when the particle velocities are sufficiently small compared to the speed of light. It was shown in the early 90s that smooth compactly supported initial data lead to solutions that remain...

We will first present the algebras A(K) associated with a number field K which were introduced and analyzed in joint work with X.Li. The computation of their K-theory is a challenging problem. It turns out to be determined by the multiplicative group...
