C*-Algebras and Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Statistical Mechanics: An Introduction

Jean-Bernard Bru is a (Ikerbasque) Professor at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and BCAM - Basque Center for Applied Mathematics. He obtained his Ph.D. degree in 1999 at the center of theoretical physics of Aix-Marseille University, France. The bulk of his research covers a scope from the mathematical analysis of many-body problems to operator algebras, stochastic processes, evolution equations, convex and functional analysis, to name a few.

Walter Alberto de Siqueira Pedra is a full professor at the Mathematics Department of the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Sciences of the University of São Paulo, Brazil, and an external scientific member of the BCAM - Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (Bilbao). He obtained his Ph.D. degree in 2006 at the University of Leipzig with summa cum laude distinction, having done graduate studies in mathematical physics at the Mathematics Department of the ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences (Leipzig). His main research interests concern mathematical aspects of interacting fermions, in particular constructive methods and applications of operator algebras and convex analysis.

Jean-Bernard Bru是巴斯克國立大學(UPV/EHU)和巴斯克應用數學中心(BCAM)的(Ikerbasque)教授。他於1999年在法國Aix-Marseille大學的理論物理中心獲得博士學位。他的研究主要涵蓋了從多體問題的數學分析到算子代數、隨機過程、演化方程、凸分析和泛函分析等領域。

Walter Alberto de Siqueira Pedra是巴西聖保羅大學數學與計算機科學研究所數學系的正教授，也是巴斯克應用數學中心(比爾包)的外部科學成員。他於2006年在萊比錫大學獲得博士學位，並以優異成績獲得summa cum laude榮譽，曾在蘇黎世聯邦理工學院數學系和萊比錫數學科學研究所進行研究。他的主要研究興趣涉及相互作用費米子的數學問題，特別是算子代數和凸分析的建構方法和應用。
