Higher Rank Graphs in Algebra, Geometry and C*-Algebras (26w5562)

The Banff International Research Station will host the "Higher Rank Graphs in Algebra, Geometry and C*-Algebras" workshop in Banff from November 1 to November 6, 2026.

Higher-rank graphs generalize path categories of directed graphs and are intricately connected to various mathematical disciplines. This workshop aims to illuminate the rich interplay between higher-rank graph C*-algebras and fields such as algebra, theoretical physics, and geometry. By examining how these algebras both influence and are influenced by these diverse areas, the event will provide insights into their broader implications and applications.

The workshop will bring together experts from different fields and career stages, each offering a unique perspective on higher-rank graphs. and interactions. Participants will engage in interactive sessions designed to exchange ideas and spark innovation. The goal is to advance knowledge by enhancing our understanding of how these combinatorial structures encapsulate information.

The Banff International Research Station for Mathematical Innovation and Discovery (BIRS) is a collaborative Canada-US-Mexico venture that provides an environment for creative interaction as well as the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and methods within the Mathematical Sciences, with related disciplines and with industry. The research station is located at The Banff Centre in Alberta and is supported by Canada's Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and Alberta's Technology and Innovation.
