Operator techniques in functional analysis, complex analysis, 
and stochastic processes
Grant No. 2-CEx06-11-34/25.07.2006
October 2006 - November 2008
 Short description of the research project 
The research area represents a hot domain of international 
research, 
with important implications in practical problems. The project intends to 
capitalize on the vast experience of the teams implied, 
by applying different techniques and methods of operator theory to 
problems of major interest in current research. 
It is structured on four major themes of research: 
1. Functional models and invariant subspaces for multioperators. 
One studies the possibilities of extension of single operator theory in 
Banch and Hilbert spaces to commutative familie of operators; 
in particular, one intends to find models based on function spaces as well 
as 
to determine invariant subspaces for multioperators.
2. Differential operators and stochastic processes. 
One intends to apply operator techniques to the study of 
concrete operators obtinaed form partial derivtives equations and 
stochastic processes; in particular, spectral analysis for differnt types 
of 
operators will be  developed. 
3. C*-algebras, von Neumann algebras and number theory. 
One studies mainly the interrelation between modern theory of 
operator algebras and the old traditional domain of number theory. 
The results have important applications in current problems of 
statistical mechanics. 
4. Operator methods in function spaces and differential geometry. 
One intends to apply operator methods in the study of current problems of 
domains that have a classical flavour: 
real analysis, functions of several complex variables, differential 
geometry.
