Complex Approximation and Bounded Holomorphic Functions

Readers of the Banach Bulletin Board may be interested in an upcoming meeting on "Complex Approximation and Bounded Holomorphic Functions,” to be held near Trento, Italy, on Monday – Friday, October 1 – 5, 2018. The Conference organizers are R. M. Aron (Kent-OH, USA), S. Charpentier (Marseilles), M. Maestre (Valencia), and V. Nestoridis (Athens).

A basic theme is to study a few areas in several and infinitely many complex variables. Principal among these areas are: (1) Polynomial and Rational Approximation, extendibility of holomorphic functions, and generic nature of non-extendible functions, and (2) Banach algebras of bounded holomorphic functions in one, several, and infinitely many variables. Topics of special interest include cluster value theorems (i.e. weak forms of the Corona Theorem), relations with Dirichlet series, and the study of Gleason parts in the maximal ideal spaces of such algebras.

The Conference has received partial support from CIRM, which will cover the cost of room and board for two of the five days of the meeting. Unfortunately, no further financial aid is available. At the moment, there are several places still available, to an upper limit of 40 participants. Interested mathematicians are asked to kindly contact R. M.
