Title: Continuous orbit equivalence for partial dynamical systems
Abstract: Given a partial dynamical system, one can construct its transformation groupoid. We characterize when two transformation groupoids are isomorphic in terms of the continuous orbit equivalence of their corresponding partial dynamical systems. Under certain additional conditions, the isomorphism between these groupoids is also characterized via the isomorphism of their corresponding crossed products. Furthermore, we provide several necessary and sufficient conditions for a groupoid to be isomorphic to a transformation groupoid, and apply our results to the case of orthogonal and saturated partial actions. (Joint work with Eun Ji Kang)

Title: Tracial Transfer
Abstract: Tracially complete C*-algebras are a generalization of Ozawa's W*-bundles introduced by J.Carrión--Castillejos--Evington--Gabe--Schafhauser--Tikuisis--White as a vehicle for transferring ideas and results about (tracial) von Neumann algebras to C*-algebras. This transfer can be achieved in a uniform way, and that is what this talk will be about. This is a joint work with Hart, Hirshberg, Schafhauser, Tikuisis, and Vaccaro.
