On October 17-18 we are organizing a mini-course on modular theory in Utrecht.
It takes place at Heidelberglaan 3 (in the University Library on the science campus), in Buchelius room 6.18
The idea is to present a modern mathematical point of view on entropy production in Statistical Mechanics and entanglement entropy in QFT, including an introduction to Tomita-Takesaki modular theory.The mini-course is preceded by a reading seminar in Nijmegen taking place on Wednesday afternoons until mid October, see here for more details!
Schedule:
12:30 - 14:30 | Vojkan Jakšic (McGill University, Montréal)
15:00 - 16:00 | Michał Wrochna (Utrecht University)
10:30 - 12:30 & 13:30 - 14:30 | Vojkan Jakšic (McGill University, Montréal)
