Serdecznie zapraszamy na najbliższy wykład w ramach Kolokwium Wydziału Matematyki i Informatyki UMK. Kolokwium odbędzie się w środę 5.11.2025 w Auli o godz. 10:15.
Prof. dr hab. Adam Skalski (IM PAN) wygłosi wykład On certain Hecke algebras
Abstract: Operator algebras associated with discrete groups have played a significant role in the theory of operator algebras since its inception over 80 years ago, and remain a central theme of research still now. I will recall fundamental questions related to this class and present certain operator algebras which can be viewed as deformations of algebras of (right-angled) Coxeter groups: the so-called q-Hecke operator algebras.
We shall see how the algebras in question arise in various natural ways, in particular related to groups acting on buildings, and then characterise some of their properties in terms of the deformation parameters
