Talks

OTTER hosts two kinds of talk each month.

  • Canon talks. An invited expert gives a long-form introduction to a core topic in operator theory or complex analysis. These are recorded and archived on this page.
  • Live sessions. Two thirty-minute talks. The first speaker presents work that is not their own or a close collaborator’s. The second talk is given by the previous session’s first speaker, on a topic of their choice, including their own work.

The October session will have a single short talk; the two-talk format starts in November.
