About:
The topics of the workshop will be commutative and noncommutative multivariable operator theory, NC function theory, and non-selfadjoint operator algebras. The goal of the workshop is to highlight the connections between these topics, and to promote exchange of ideas and interaction between the the different groups working on multivariable operator theory.

The workshop will begin with a reception on the afternoon of Sunday, June 18, and will end on the evening of Thursday, June 22.
The program will consist of four full days of lectures, Monday through Thursday.
We will arrange housing for all participants (from Sunday to Friday morning), and there will be no registration fee. We will not be able to cover other expenses, except perhaps in special cases.

Transportation :

Ben Gurion Airport is Israel’s major international gateway. It is located on the outskirts of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, 115km from the workshop venue. A ride between Ben Gurion Airport and Haifa should last about an hour to an hour and a half.

TrainThere is direct train service (costs NIS 41.5) between Ben Gurion Airport and Haifa, with trains almost every hour all night long and, mostly, twice an hour during the day (due to public transportation adherence to Shabbat observance, there are no trains between Friday at ≈14:30 and Saturday at ≈19:30). Tickets are purchased at the vendor or the automatic machines at the entrance to the train station – 50 meters from the arrivals gate at the same building.

Your destination is Haifa Hof HaKarmel station, which is the first stop in Haifa. From the train station in Haifa, take a taxi to the Bay View hotel / Technion Guest House (The taxi should costs NIS 60-100).

Please see this link for the train’s time table: http://www.rail.co.il/EN/Pages/HomePage.aspx

Bus: If you wish to come by bus, there is a central bus station adjacent to the train station:

  1. To the Bay View Hotel: take bus line 133 or 132 or 3 (30min, costs NIS 5.9), tickets can be purchased from the driver.
  2. To the Technion: take bus line 1 or 11 or 17 (line 1 is the fastest and takes approximately 30 minutes. The other 2 lines take up to an hour). The ticket cost NIS 5.9 and you purchase it from the driver.

Please see this link for the busses’ time table:

The service operates 24 hours a day. Telephone: 04-8662324 (costs between NIS77-119)

A private taxi can be ordered from the airport and back. Telephone:04-8222222 (costs about NIS 400 ).

Credit cards & currency exchange:

  1. Most banks, including those at the airport and on campus, will exchange major currencies, such as USD and Euro, for Israeli Shekels (NIS).
  2. All major credit cards are accepted in Israel.
  3. Israeli Shekels can also be obtained at most Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs), including the airport and on campus.
  • Taxis will be arranged every day during the conference  from the hotel to the Technion and back.
