Münster, 7.–11. July 2014

Organized by Ilijas Farah, Bradd Hart and Wilhelm Winter.

The aim of this workshop is it to better understand recently emerged applications of model theory to C*-algebras.

(The workshop will be related on work in progress a preliminary report of which can be found here.

A somewhat less preliminary preprint of a paper on omitting types in continuous logic used in the above can be found here.)

We plan on a light number of talks (mainly service talks at least for the first few days), devoting a lot of time to interaction – maybe even to prove a theorem or two..

Practical:

Here is the schedule.

To get started:

Walk to the institute on Monday morning

and register (9:00–9:30) on ground floor (SR0) of the tall building. Talks start at 9:30.

Wireless / local desktops:

If possible, use eduroam. Alternatively, Elke will be able

to provide you with a temporary guest login.

Talks:

In SRZ 117, first floor of the new new building.

(Much more easy to find than to explain.)

Coffee breaks:

SR0, ground floor, tall building.

Lunch:

Mensa am Ring is the default place. For coffee, use Viva Café (not the (instant) coffee bar). Or the Italian places.

Or 403.

Dinner / beer:

La Vecchia Casa is quite convenient. There are also many places downtown; typical Westfalian restaurants are Kiepenkerl, Pinkus, Leve, Stuhlmacher, or Drübbelken.

Go to Jüdefelder Straße for classical (typical?) student bars. At the “Hafen” you’ll find a lot of restaurants and bars;

nice to sit outside when the weather is good. (On the other side of town; it’s possible to walk, but not exactly close.)

Pretty fancy: Gourmet 1895 (*), Villa Medici, Giverny,

Il Cucchiaio Argento.

Bicycles:

You’ll hear a lot of talk about Münster being a bike place.

It’s true, so no loitering on the red bike tracks.

You can rent a bike from the Radstation at the station or downtown.

Office space

...is sparse. We have booked SR0 and SRZ 117 (almost)

throughout the week; outside talks and coffee breaks these

should be o.k. to work. You can also use the library.

We have a small number of available shared offices;

let us know if you’d prefer to use one of those.

Workshop dinner:

Tuesday, 18:30 at Il Galletti, Germania Campus.

Here’s a map to walk there from Hotel am Schloßpark.

It’s not far, but depending on weather, you might prefer to go by bus: Take the 6 from Steinfurter Str. B (or from Kanonierplatz B) to Germania Campus.
