Publications
Since 2001, I have always uploaded my papers, including a final version with the text as published, to
arXiv
. The list in MathSciNet (use this link when you are at the Leiden campus) also contains my older papers, but it can be lagging considerably for the newer ones.
The Leiden Repository contains a number of my papers as published.
My ORCID iD is 0000-0002-7295-8969.
Unauthorised publication by Springer Nature under my name
On 3 December 2022, Springer Nature published a `correction' to a paper by myself and Yang Deng. This `correction' is not a mathematical one: it is concerned with an error at their production department that they themselves had failed to notice. It was published by Springer Nature at their own initiative. Yang Deng and I are mentioned as the authors of this `correction', but we never authored this paper, nor were we informed about it prior to its publication. We have objected to this course of events.

Past and upcoming events
-
Summer School on Noncommutative integration, Leiden, 9 - 13 June 2008.
-
Workshop Operator structures and dynamical systems, Leiden, 21 - 25 July 2008 (satellite of 5 ECM). The proceedings appeared in 2009 in the Contemporary Mathematics series of the AMS.
- The Positivity VII conference was held from 22 - 26 July 2013 at the campus of Leiden Universityl, jointly organised by Leiden University and Delft University of Technology. I served as chairman on the organization committee of this Zaanen Centennial Conference, on the occasion of the 100th birthyear of Adriaan Cornelis Zaanen (1913 - 2003). Edited by Onno van Gaans, Ben de Pagter, Mark Veraar, and myself, the proceedings appeared with Birkhäuser in 2016.
- Tony Wickstead and I were the main organisers, together with Garth Dales, Sonja Mouton, and Ben de Pagter, of the Ordered Banach algebra workshop at the Lorentz Center in Leiden, from 21 - 25 July 2014. Tony Wicksteade and I were also the editors of a special issue on ordered Banach algebras of Positivity on the subject that appeared in 2017. It also contains a list of open problems that was compiled by Tony Wickstead, and an obituary for Egor Alekhno, who was one of the participants. On the ocassion of the workshop, Tony Wickead, Sonja Mouton, and I compiled a bibliography on ordered Banach algebras that we believed to be reasonably complete at the time.
-
Positivity VIII was held in Chengdu from 20 - 24 July 2015.

Functional analysis seminar
We have a series of yearly functional analysis seminars in the spring semester, with staff, postdocs, PhD students, and advanced MSc students as participants.
- In the 2005 seminar we concentrated on spectral theory and operator algebras.
- The 2006 seminar was about Banach space theory.
- In the 2007 seminar the emphasis was on operator theory.
- In 2007 - 2008 we covered most of the book by Albiac and Kalton on Banach space theory.
- In 2008 - 2009 was devoted to Meyer-Nieberg's book on Banach lattices; the twin seminar in Delft was on noncommutative probability.
- In 2009 - 2010 the seminar was based on Kaniuth's `A course in commutative Banach algebras'.
- In 2010 - 2011 we used Engel's and Nagel's `A short course on operator semigroups'.
- In fall 2011 a joint Leiden/Delft seminar was dedicated to Choquet theory, based on Phelps' book.
