Personal"...the wind is cold on the peaks of abstraction. The fact that the objects and examples in functional analysis are themselves mathematical theories makes communication with nonmathematicians almost hopeless and deprives us the feedback that makes mathematics more than aesthetical play with axioms. (Not that this aspect should be completely neglected.) The dichotomy between small and directly applicable models and the large, abstract super model cannot be explained away. Each must find his own way between Scylla and Charybdis." Gert K. Pedersen, Analysis Now. |
Research My research is in the area of functional analysis and operator algebras. I work primarily with groupoid C*-algebras. I am also interested in graph algebras and transformation group C*-algebras.
