Similarity Structure Groups with Prime Group von Neumann Algebras

Patrick Henry Debonis
(Purdue University)
Abstract

We will introduce a class of countable homeomorphism groups that share many properties with Thompson's group V, known as FSS* groups. This talk from Patrick Henry DeBonis will focus on some of the group constructions and deformation/rigidity arguments needed to prove FSS* group von Neumann algebras are prime - and have potential for wider applications.

Some remarks on definable complex analysis

Alex Wilkie
(Oxford University)
Abstract
Peterzil and Starchenko began this by developing the basics of complex analysis (Cauchy’s theorem, Taylor series, residues…) within an arbitrary o-minimal expansion of a real closed field. I look at more advanced topics from such a definable viewpoint (eg the Riemann Mapping Theorem) although to make any progress I have to restrict myself to (o-minimal) expansions of the real field itself. I am, of course, motivated by Zilber’s quasiminimality conjecture.
