The Graph Algebra Network is a collaboration among research groups at twenty-six partnering
institutions located in the European Union and North America. Each research group
comprises a "node" in the network consisting of world-renowned mathematicians studying
graph C*-algebras, Leavitt path algebras, and related topics. The Graph Algebra Network was
initiated in Summer 2022, and ARCS (via the UCCS Mathematics Department) serves
as a node in the network.
The Graph Algebra Network provides funding for researchers in the network to
visit other nodes in order to initiate connections, share ideas, and collaborate on
joint research projects. In addition to providing support for established researchers,
the Graph Algebra Network also funds opportunities for graduate students and postdocs
at the partnering institutions to visit other nodes to enhance their scientific training
and contribute to their overall professional development.
Funding for the Graph Algebra Network
The Graph Algebra Network is coordinated by the node at the
Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IMPAN)
located in Warsaw, Poland. Funding for the Graph Algebra Network (in U.S. dollars)
is providing by the following sources:
| FUNDING SOURCE | AMOUNT (in U.S. Dollars) |
|---|---|
| European Union | $517,800 |
| Warsaw University | $66,300 |
| Simons Foundation | $40,300 |
| Total Funding: | $624,400 |
Nodes of the Graph Algebra Network
The Graph Algebra Network is comprised of "nodes" consisting of research groups located at twenty-six partnering institutions in the European Union and North America.

Work Packages
The Graph Algebra Network has identified seven "work packages" (i.e., targeted topics) for investigation and collaboration. Each work package is coordinated by a researcher at one of the nodes in the network. The work packages and their coordinating researchers are listed here:
1. New Morphisms of Graphs (Piotr M. Hajac, IMPAN)
2. Classification and Structure (Soren Eilers, Copenhagen)
3. Graphs and Groupoids (Tomasz Maszczyk, Warsaw)
4. Noncommutative Metric Geometry (David Kyed, Odense)
5. New Equivariant Dimensions (Ludwik Dabrowski, SISSA)
6. Principal Equivariant Spectral Triples (Bram Mesland, Leiden)
7. Quantum Symmetries (Andrzej Sitarz, Cracow)
