Like the first Abel Symposium, held in 2004, the Abel Symposium 2015 focused on operator algebras. It is interesting to see the remarkable advances that have been made in operator algebras over these years, which strikingly illustrate the vitality of the field. A total of 26 talks were given at the symposium on a variety of themes, all highlighting the richness of the subject.

The field of operator algebras was created in the 1930s and was motivated by problems of quantum mechanics. It has subsequently developed well beyond its initial intended realm of applications and expanded into...

Based on presentations given at the NordForsk Network Closing Conference "Operator Algebra and Dynamics," held in Gjaargarour, Faroe Islands, in May 2012, this book features high quality research contributions and review articles by researchers associated with the NordForsk network and leading experts that explore the fundamental role of operator algebras and dynamical systems in mathematics with possible applications to physics, engineering and computer science.

It covers the following topics: von Neumann algebras arising from discrete measured groupoids, purely infinite...

A treasure for anyone interested in early modern India and the history of mathematics, this first English translation of the Siddh ntasundara reveals the fascinating work of the scholar-astronomer Jn nar ja (circa 1500 C.E.). Toke Lindegaard Knudsen begins with an introduction to the traditions of ancient Hindu astronomy and describes what is known of Jn nar ja's life and family. He translates the Sanskrit verses into English and offers expert commentary on the style and substance of Jn nar ja's treatise.

The Siddh ntasundara contains a comprehensive exposition of the system of...

China, a still developing economy comprising a fifth of the world's population, will play a key role in the global movement towards reducing carbon emissions. The aims of the Paris Agreement may stand or fall with China, both for its own contribution and the example it will set the developing world.

China's Role in Reducing Carbon Emissions discusses the prospects for China achieving radical reductions in carbon emissions, within the context of the current economic and political landscape. With a particular focus on technologies such as such as wind power, solar power and...
