Danish-Norwegian
symposium in Operator Algebras, Lysebu 15 – 18 December 2007
The Danish and
Norwegian operator algebraists will arrange their bi-annual conference December
15-18 at Lysebu above Oslo, This time around we decided to break the routine of
restricting the meeting to mostly Danes and Norwegians because of Erling Størmer«s
70th year
birthday 2 Nov 2007. Thus, we invite some of Erling«s close collaborators. As usual one arrives for lunch at 12:30
– 14:00 Saturday December 15 and leaves after breakfast at 07:00 - 09:00 Tuesday December 18.
There will be a conference banquet in the evening Monday December 17.
For transatlantic
or trans-siberian
guests it will probably be convenient to arrive already 14 December, and they
should contact Christian Skau at csk@math.ntnu.no
Chris Skau is administering the conference and it
is best to communicate with him about other details on times and dates,
accompanying family members, special needs, prolonged stays etc. Because of
limited space at Lysebu, participation is in general by invitation only.
At the time of
the symposium one may expect temperatures slightly below zero
(centigrades!) and some snow or sleet may occur. We give a link to
continually updated local weather forecasts for Lysebu
the nearest 48 hours and
the nearest 8 days. The sun will rise around 9:14 and set around
15:11 each day. If weather and snow permits, there are good
possibilities for
skiing outside Lysebu.
This Symposium has
received substantial financial support from
The Fund for Danish-Norwegian Cooperation.
Here is the time schedule of the symposium.
