Speakers at SUMIRFAS 2012 include
Pete Casazza The Kadison-Singer Problem in Mathematics and Engineering Ed Effros Grothendieck and Quantized Functional Analysis Su Gao Universal equivalence relations from actions of the unitary group Ali Kavruk Relative Riesz Interpolations in C*-algebra Theory Masoud Khalkhali Spectral Zeta Functions and Scalar Curvature for Noncommutative Tori Izabella Laba Buffon's needle estimates for rational product Cantor sets Michael Lacey On the two weight inequality for the Hilbert transform Paul Mueller A Davis Decomposition for Hardy Martingales Darrin Speegle The HRT conjecture for functions with sufficiently fast decay Russ Thompson An introduction to the rate of escape of random walks on groups
August 6-10 there will be a Concentration Week on "Recent advances in Harmonic Analysis and Spectral Theory", organized by Andrew Comech, David Damanik, Constanze Liaw (chair), and Alexei Poltoratski. This CW is designed to bring together two groups of experts: those specializing in complex and harmonic analysis and those working in spectral theory of differential operators and mathematical physics. The main goals of the CW are to study new relationships and to widen further participation in this area in the United States. Introductory series of lectures by Stephen Gustafson, Svetlana Jitomirskaya, Helge Krueger, and Brett Wick are planned to acquaint non-experts with these topics with the reasonable expectation that some the participants in the larger Workshop will will be attracted to this program and inject new ideas into the area.

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.
