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...
