Workshop in Analysis and Probability Department of Mathematics Texas A&M University Summer 2013
The Summer 2013 Workshop in Analysis and Probability at Texas A&M University will be in session from July 15 until August 16, 2013. For information about the Workshop, consult the Workshop Home Page, whose URL is

The Informal Regional Functional Analysis Seminar (SUMIRFAS) will be held August 2-4. SUMIRFAS will be dedicated to the memory of Ted Odell, who was one of the organizers of the UTAMIRFAS, the predecessor of SUMIRFAS. Ted served on the advisory board of the Workshop since its beginning.
Plenary speakers at SUMIRFAS include Stephen Dilworth, Steve Jackson, Masoud Khalkhali, Thomas Schlumprecht, Nicole Tomczak-Jaegermann, and Wilhelm Winter.
August 5-9 there will be a Concentration Week on "Dynamics, Geometry, and Operator Algebras", organized by David Kerr and Guoliang Yu. This Concentration Week aims to promote connections between nuclearity, nuclear dimension, group C*-algebras and crossed products, topological and measurable dynamics, algebraic dynamics, entropy, dimensional ideas from coarse geometry, and K-theory with applications to topology. The program will feature lecture series by David Kerr, Stuart White, and Rufus Willett. The URL for this Concentration Week is

Immediately preceding SUMIRFAS, on August 1, there will be a celebration of "The Mathematical Legacy of Ted Odell", organized by Thomas Schlumprecht.
The Workshop is supported in part by grants from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Minorities, women, graduate students, and young researchers are especially encouraged to attend.
