MS-14 Numerical Ranges

Organizers: Patrick X. Rault (University of Arizona South) and Ilya Spitkovsky (NYU Abu Dhabi)

In this mini-symposium we will bring together many of the world's leading researchers on the numerical range of a matrix, also known as the field of values of a matrix. Topics will include the recently introduced Gau-Wu invariant, the Crouzeix Conjecture, and an analogue of numerical ranges over finite fields.
