Title: The Kadison-Singer Problem in Mathematics and Engineering

Abstract: We will see that the famous 1959 Kadison-Singer Problem in C*-algebras is equivalent to fundamental open problems in a dozen areas of research in mathematics and engineering including:  Operator Theory, Banach Space Theory, Hilbert Space Theory, Harmonic Analysis, Time-Frequency Analysis, Frame Theory, signal processing and more.  All one needs to follow this talk is the definition of a bounded operator on a Banach space.
