Coffee and refreshments will be available in the break room on the first floor of Blocker.
SUMIRFAS will be preceded from July 27 to 31 by the Concentration Week "From Commutators to BCP Operators", organized by Hari Bercovici and Vern Paulsen. The meeting will focus on the areas of mathematics developed by Carl Pearcy, who is turning 80 this year, and aims to promote connections between several different themes in operator theory which have been driving recent progress in the subject. Topics will include quasidiagonality, commutators of operators, and invariant subspaces. The homepage of the Concentration Week is located at
