21-24 May 2006, Workshop on the Urysohn space

The international workshop on the Universal Urysohn Metric Space will take place at Ben-Gurion University (Beer Sheva, Israel) from 21-24 May, 2006. The Urysohn space U is the universal complete metric separable space. This remarkable mathematical object, introduced by P. Urysohn 80 years ago, has generated a considerable and steadily growing interest over the past two decades. The purpose of the workshop is to bring together leading mathematicians working in the fields of Topological Groups, Functional Analysis, Geometry, Representation Theory, Dynamics, Logic and Set Theory in order to exchange ideas and present results of current research of the Urysohn space.
