Abstract
In logic and computer science one often studies the complexity of
decision problems. In mathematical logic this leads to the program of
study of relative complexity of isomorphism problems and determining
various complexity classes. Broadly speaking, a problem p in a class C
is complete in C if any other problem in C reduces to p. The
isomorphism problem for separable C*-algebras has been studied since
the 1960's and evolved into the Elliott program that classifies
C*-algebras via their K-theoretic invariants. During the talk I will
discuss the complexity of the isomorphism problem for separable
C*-algebras and its completeness in the class of orbit equivalence relations.
