Abstract

Jones initiated the study of modern theory of subfactors in the early 1980's. Subsequently, he invented planar algebras as an axiomatization of the `standard invariant of a subfactor'. The mini-course is aimed to give an exposition of some aspects of this theory, including a discussion of the famous GJS-construction which reconstructs a subfactor from a `good planar algebra'.

Prerequisites: Functional analysis and a basic course on operators on Hilbert space.
