Organizational Meeting
Thomas Bray, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo
"Boundaries and C*-simplicity of (discrete) groups"
I will discuss the contents of the paper “Boundaries of reduced C*-algebras of discrete groups" by Kalantar and Kennedy. Since this is the first meeting, we may also discuss plans for the seminar at the beginning.
