NSF Analysis program awards grant to Benjamin Steinberg

Distinguished Professor Benjamin Steinberg received a National Science Foundation grant from the Analysis program of the Division of Mathematical Sciences. He will serve as lead investigator on the project, "Dynamics Through the Viewpoint of Self-Similar Algebras: Topological Markov Chains and Self-Similar Groups" with researchers Efren Ruiz from the University of Hawaii-Hilo and Adam Dor-On at Haifa University. The team plans to strengthen connections between dynamics, group theory, operator algebra theory, and ring theory. The program builds on previous progress in classifying simple C*-algebras and aims to shed light on some of the most important problems in symbolic dynamics, graph algebras, as well as on self-similar groups and their associated algebras.
