Banach space theory: classical topics and new directions 4-8 September 2006 · Cáceres · Spain http://www.banachspaces.com
A Satellite Conference of the International Congress of Mathematicians, Madrid 2006
The conference aims to contemplate the topic of Banach spaces from an open and broader point of view; so, in addition to classical Banach space theory, related topics of active research have been included. The main lines of the conference are: · Structure and geometry of infinite dimensional Banach and quasi-Banach spaces. · Infinite dimensional topology. · Asymptotic geometric analysis. · Categorical and homological methods. · Applications of descriptive set theory.
PROGRAM
During the mornings there will take place the invited lectures

PREVIOUS CONFERENCES Since 1996, the Department of Mathematics of the University of Extremadura organizes the even years a Banach space conference in either Badajoz or Cáceres. The proceedings of Conferences I-IV have appeared in Extracta Mathematicae, and can be found in the journal web-site http://unex.es/extracta/extracta.html. The proceedings of the V Conference will be published by the Cambridge University Press as a volume in the Lecture Notes Series of the London Mathematical Society.
