Functional Analysis Group
Research Interests
The interests of the group are diverse, ranging from topological aspects of the geometry of Banach spaces through operator systems and theory of unbounded operators to topics bordering on probability and differential equations. See the members page for further information about members' research interests. There are also connections with other research groups in Analytic Topology, Nonlinear PDE and Stochastic Analysis.
Seminar
There is a Functional Analysis Seminar on most Tuesdays during term at 5.00pm.
Partners
The group is a member of the North British Functional Analysis Seminar (NBFAS). From 2006 until 2010 the group was also a partner in the (now defunct) EU Programme on Operator Theory Methods for Differential Equations (TODEQ).
Recent workshops and meetings
The 2012 edition of the Young Functional Analysts' Workshop (YFAW) was in Oxford on 21 and 22 March. For details, please visit the YFAW website.
The workshop was followed by a meeting of the North British Functional Analysis Seminar (NBFAS) to be held in Oxford on 23 and 24 March 2012, with Magdalena Musat (University of Copenhagen, Denmark), Gilles Pisier (Paris VI University, France, and Texas A&M University, USA) and Mikael Rørdam (University of Copenhagen, Denmark) as speakers.
A workshop on 'Asymptotics of Operator Semigroups' was held in St John's College on 2, 3 and 4 September 2009. Click here for further details.
