OASW01 - Structure of operator algebras: subfactors and fusion categories

W$^{$-bundles were first introduced by Ozawa, motivated by work on the Toms-Winter Conjecture and, more generally, the classification of C$}$-algebras.

I will begin with a brief introduction to W$^{$-bundles, explaining how they combine the measure theoretic nature of tracial von Neumann algebras with the topological nature of C$}$-algebras. I will then discuss the relationship between the triviality problem for W$^{$-bundles and the Toms-Winter Conjecture. Finally, I will present my work with Ulrich Pennig on locally trivial W$}$-bundles and my ongoing work on expected subbundles of W$^*$-bundles inspired by subfactor theory.
