• Factorization theorems of Backward Shifts and Nuclear Maps (Asuman Aksoy, CMC)

    Roberts North 105, CMC 320 E. 9th St., Claremont, CA, United States

    The theory of compact linear operators between Banach spaces has a classical core and is familiar to many. Perhaps lesser known is the factorization of compact maps through a closed subspace of c_0 . This factorization theorem has a number of important connections and consequences analogous to how the ideals of continuous linear operators factoring […]

  • Frobenius-Rieffel norms on matrix algebras (Konrad Aguilar, Pomona)

    Roberts North 105, CMC 320 E. 9th St., Claremont, CA, United States

    Noncommutative metric geometry is the study of certain noncommuative algebras in the context of metric geometry. For instance, the Lipschitz constant (which measures the maximum slope obtained by a real-valued continuous function on a metric space (allowed to be infinite)) is a vital tool in metric geometry, and a main feature of noncommutative metric geometry […]
