IIT-Hyderabad plans to conduct international workshop in December

Hyderabad: Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, along with along with NISER-Bhubaneswar, will be jointly hosting a nine-day international workshop on 'Advanced Functional Analysis and its Applications 2020' from December 16 to 24.

People from various parts of the world are invited to deliver talks in this event. A special attention is paid to the area 'Analysis on Banach spaces.' This is an online event and the organisers are keen to reach out to the participants along with their requirements and interests virtually. Its prime objective is to cover some advanced topics in Functional Analysis at its introductory level. Apart from the application viewpoints, the subject 'Functional Analysis' can be studied in its own interests. From the time of Fourier to the present-day, the subject evolved and expanded in many directions. J Dieudonne's book 'History of Functional Analysis' encounters the developments of this subject.

The last date for registration November 30. Highlighting the importance of workshop, Dr Tanmoy Paul, Conference Coordinator and Assistant Professor, Department of Mathematics, IIT Hyderabad, said, "The central theme of this event is to offer some advanced topics in Functional Analysis with special emphasis on Analysis on Banach spaces. From the time of Stephan Banach to till date the theory has long heritage and culture.

The richness of this theory attracted many people to work in it. The Handbook of Geometry of Banach Spaces (I & II) encounter the developments of the literature in last few decades. We aim to offer a few topics which are relevant to the current research in this domain."

Research scholars persuing research in various fields of Functional Analysis are encouraged to register for this workshop. IIT-Hyderabad has invited experts from all over the world, including Richard Aron (Kent State University, Kent OHIO, USA), Fernanda Botelho (University of Memphis, USA), Gilles Godefroy (University of Paris 6, France), Miguel Martin (University of Granada, Spain), TSSRK Rao (Ashoka University, India), Tomasz Kania (Institute of Mathematics, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague), Vladimir G Troitsky (University of Alberta, Canada) and P Veeramani (Indian Institute of Technology Madras, India); to attend and deliver lectures for this workshop.
