Canadian Operator Symposium 2023 (COsy 2023)
Description
The Canadian Operator Symposium( COSy) was established in 1972 by Israel Halperin as a conference focused on operator algebras and applications. COSy quickly grew into, and remains today, the main annual meeting for Operator Theory in Canada with a global reach. Operator Theory is a well-established and highly-active field of research which has long been a pillar of Canadian mathematics. A huge variety of mathematical disciplines overlap or make critical use of Operator Theory - Harmonic Analysis, Mathematical Physics, Dynamical Systems, Number Theory and Geometry, to name just a few. As a meeting point of so many subjects, Operator Theory is by nature an interdisciplinary pursuit. Accordingly, Canada's long-recognized status as a stronghold for Operator Theory has had an outsized effect on the general health of Canadian mathematics and greatly bolstered its international reputation.

How to get to London from Pearson airport:
Here are some following options to travel from Pearson airport in Toronto (the only international airport in Toronto) to London Ontario:
"Robert Q" shuttle buses: (price: $83.93)
- This is the most convenient and frequent option. The regular trip to London is about 2 hours and their 24/7 station is located at the lower floors of Pearson airport.
- Note that you can arrange your drop off location to be your Hotel in London while booking your shuttle; They may charge you extra for this option.
OnexBus: (starts at $37)
- This is the less expensive option, though their buses may have less frequent schedules and may take longer to take you to London (must be carefully chosen while booking the ticket). Your arrival point on London is best to be chosen at "VIA Rail" train station. Then you take a taxi to your Hotel.
Connection flight:
- While booking your flight, you can book a flight with the destination as London International Airport YXU. You will then have a domestic connection flight from Pearson Airport to London Airport. However, for such as short flight (about 45 minutes) to London, you may need to stay at the airport sometimes more than 4 hours.
