The
international conference "Interactions between Logic, Topological
structures and Banach spaces theory"
will take place at the Eilat
Campus of Ben Gurion University of the Negev
(Israel) from 19-24 May, 2013.
Eilat is
Israel's southernmost city, a popular resort located at the northern tip of the
Red Sea, on the Gulf of Eilat. Basic information about the city of Eilat can be found at
http://web.bgu.ac.il/Eng/eilat/EilatCity/
The main purpose of the conference is to bring together mathematicians
working in all fields of mathematics dealing with Automorphism Groups of
Topological Structures, Boolean Algebras, and Banach spaces
theory in order
to exchange ideas and present results of current
research.
Specific topics to be covered in this meeting are:
1) Applications of Logic, in particular Boolean
Algebras, to Banach spaces
theory.
2) Recovery of spaces from their groups of
homeomorphisms.
3) Topological characterization of
the homeomorphism groups of various concrete spaces.
4) Universal homogeneous metric spaces.
5) Geometry of Banach
spaces.
The total estimated number of participants is 60.
Depending on the number of participants we may have
some lectures in parallel.
There is no Conference registration fee.
Accommodation:
The Organizing Committee will book the rooms for all
participants in the Hotel Adi
and will offer special prices in this hotel.
Eilat has plenty of hotels and in principal the
participants could book a hotel of their choice on their own.
Travel to Eilat: “Arkia” and “Israir” are the airlines operating flights from Tel Aviv to
Eilat.
ISRAIR web site is http://www.israirairlines.com/
ARKIA web site is http://www.arkia.com/
We recommend Arkia
Express service which offers low-fare flights for in advance reservations.
Both air-companies
operate flights from Ben-Gurion international airport.
The following site of Eilat Hotel Association contains a lot of useful information.
We are planning to have Conference Dinner and an
excursion
for the conference participants and accompanying persons.
Possible financial support depends on the total funds
that we shall be able to obtain.
We expect the participation of the
following mathematicians that
have already confirmed attending the conference.
