Lecturer: Bogdan Đorđević (Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences) Title: Applications of Banach algebras and Banach modules to some contemporary analysis problems Abstract: In recent years applied mathematics has experienced a historical progress, blurring the lines between the previously clear research paths and directions. Accordingly, contemporary mathematical analysis is at the verge of unifying seemingly different research areas and topics. With this in mind, I'd like to talk about my humble contribution to this cause: my lecture will concern how Banach algebras and modules, combined with spectral theory, functional calculus, and generalized inverses, help in various problems that emerge in applied mathematics in general: from solving operator and matrix equations, to evaluating sums [...]
