Speaker: Arnaud Brothier, Paris
Title: Planar algebras and subfactors
Abstract: In this talk I will present the notion of planar algebra introduced by Vaughan Jones in the end of the 90's. I will explain the connection between those objects and the subfactors. Then I will show how to construct von Neumann algebras and, time permitting, I will give an explicit disintegration of a representation of a masa in a free group factor.
