Announcement of a WORKSHOP and SYMPOSIUM:
Current Research in Operational Quantum Logic III :
Category theory symposium (PSSL
72);
April 8 - 9
Quantum logic/quantale/category workshop;
April
10 -14
Organized by:
Foundations
of exact sciences,
Department
of Mathematics,
Free University
of Brussels.
These events are supported by FWO Research Network
WO.011.96N.
Category theory
symposium: April 8 - 9 :
After consulting Francis Borceux we have decided to organize a category
theory symposium in Brussels, April 8-9, 2000, motivated by the many visitors
at Louvain-La-Neuve and Brussels in that period.
The style of the meeting will be essentially inspired by the ``PERIPATETIC
SEMINAR ON SHEAVES AND LOGIC''-meetings (PSSL). From our perspective
in Brussels, this meeting will be a satellite of our annual workshop on
quantum logic (April 10-14, Brussels, see below for information).
The following links provide further information:
Please let us know if you are interested and/or intend to give
a talk at the weekend symposium. For any further information please contact:

Quantum logic/quantale/category
workshop; April 10 -14 :
We contemplate a third five day, intensive workshop devoted to topics of
current interest related to operational quantum logic --- see
for example last year's workshop. This year we would like to emphasise:
Quantum structures and frames/quantales/categories
We plan to have one or two didactic talks a day followed by extensive time
for organised discussion. To facilitate interaction and for practical budgetary
reasons, we aim to keep the number of participants limited to a maximum
of 20.
The following confirmed participation of the workshop:
Diederik Aerts (Brussels), Haroun Amira (Brussels), Jean Benabou (Paris),
Wim Christiaens (Ghent), Bob Coecke (Brussels), Mamuka Jibladze (Louvain-La-Neuve),
David Kruml (Brno), Joachim Lambek (McGill), Célestin Nkuimi Jugnia
(Louvain-La-Neuve), Jan Paseka (Brno), Pedro Resende (Lisboa), Sonja Smets
(Brussels), Steven Sourbron (Brussels), Isar Stubbe (Louvain-La-Neuve),
Frank Valckenborgh (Brussels), Karin Verelst (Brussels)... also some of
the Category Theory Symposium participants confirmed to participate a few
days at the workshop.
