“Applications of order isomorphisms of C*-algebras”

We will review known results about order isomorphisms of C*-algebras, and will describe some applications to complete positivity of maps and a generalization of the Choi matrix. (This is joint work with Vern Paulsen.) Then we will describe some applications to quantum information theory.

"Dynamical Analogue of Results by Bombieri-Masser-Zannier and Habegger"

First, we briefly explain how results and questions in diophantine geometry give rise to interesting problems in arithmetic dynamics. Then we focus on dynamical analogue of the following results by
Bombieri, Masser, Zannier and Habegger.
