Talks
I have been persuaded of the benefits of posting slides online after I give talks, so here we are.
- Analysis in Non-Commutative Mathematics: Talk given at the Young Functional Analysts' Workshop 2012, Oxford, March 2012. Really an introduction to Compact Quantum Groups: in the small chance than anyone is interested, some further reading can be found here: Old reading list
- Shift invariant preduals of group algebras: Talk given at the Banach Algebras 2011 conference in Waterloo, Canada, August 2011. A differing take on the talk below!
- Shift-invariant preduals of $\ell^1(\mathbb Z)$: Talk given to the Analysis seminar at UCD, Dublin, February 2011.
- The Fourier algebra and homomorphisms: Talk given to the Analysis and Algebra seminar at Glagow, December 2010.
- Some operator algebra problems from Quantum Information: Talk given to the algebra seminar at Leeds, November 2010.
- Multipliers and Abstract Harmonic Analysis: Talk given at CAHAS 2010 August 2010. Printable version.
- Quantum groups by way of Operator algebras: Talk given At Belfast university, April 2010.
- Multipliers and the Fourier algebras, and non-commutative L^p spaces: Talk given at Birmingham University, March 2010. A third attempt on a theme!
- Multipliers of quantum groups from Hilbert C*-modules: Talk given at Lancaster University, March 2010.
- Multipliers and the Fourier algebras: Talk given at Nottingham University, January 2010. Somewhat similar to the talk beow.
- Multipliers and the Fourier algebras: Talk given at Banach Algebras 2009, Stefan Banach International Mathematical Center, Bedlewo, Poland. A handout version of the slides can be downloaded here.
- Biprojectivity and compact quantum groups: Colloquium talk given to the Pure Mathematics department as Leeds, April 2009. A handout version of the slides can be downloaded here.
- Weakly almost periodic functionals on the measure algebra [PDF]: Talks given at the CIRM, November 2008. This is very similar to the talk below, so the PDF file is just a printable version of my slides (as given to conference participants).
- Weakly almost periodic functionals on the measure algebra [PDF]: Talk given in Newcastle, October 2008.
- Compactifications and the Fourier algebra [PDF]: Talk given in Glasgow, February 2008.
- Quantum compactifications of the Fourier algebra [PDF]: Talk given at the Fields Institute, Toronto, December 2007. To my horror, they have recorded my talk, so the audio is available for download here.
- Compact Quantum Groups: Series of three talks in Leeds, November 2007. Here is a web-page with a reading list.
- Uniqueness of preduals [PDF]: Talk given at Banach Algebras 07, in Laval, July 2007. This bears some similarly to the two talks below.
- The predual of $l^1(G)$ [PDF]: Talk given in Leeds, May 2007. This is an extension of the BMC below immediately below.
- How to make the bilateral shift weak$^*$-continuous [PDF]: Talk given at the BMC in Swansea, April 2007.
- p-operator spaces and Figa-Talamanca-Herz algebras [PDF]: Talk given in February 2007, in Oxford and at Texas A+M.
- Operator spaces and the Sz-Nagy Similarity Problem [PDF]: Talk given to the junior seminar, November 2006, in Oxford.
- Involutions on algebras of operators [PDF]: Talk given in Glasgow, May 2006.
- Dual Banach algebras [PDF]: Talk given at the British Mathematics Conference, April 2006, in Newcastle.
