Detailed calendars

We are going to publish a detailed calender of the lectures of our semester bit by bit. Likewise, you can find a calender displaying who of our senior guests is going to stay for how long in Münster.

Note: The detailed calendars are now offline. Click here for a substitute.


Overview


May 4-29: Introductory section
Weeks Title Lecturer(s) # of lectures
4.5.-22.5. Introduction to KK-theory Walther Paravicini 7
4.5.-22.5. Crossed products and Morita equivalences Siegfried Echterhoff 3
25.5.-29.5. Index theory and KK-theory Ryszard Nest, Georges Skandalis 4

The "students' seminar" is co-organised by Prahlad Vaidyanathan and will take place once or twice a week, depending on what other lectures are scheduled. It is an opportunity for our junior guests to present their research projects to each other. Here is a list of the topics covered which I update regularly (usually, a session of the seminar will consist of two talks of about 45 min length):
20.5. C*-bundles and their K-theory Prahald Vaidyanathan
