The Israel Halperin Prize is awarded every five years by the Canadian Annual Symposium on Operator Theory and Operator Algebras to a member of the Canadian mathematical community who has recently obtained a doctorate and has made contributions to
operator theory
In mathematics, operator theory is the study of linear operators on function spaces, beginning with differential operators and integral operators. The operators may be presented abstractly by their characteristics, such as bounded linear operato ...

operator algebra
In functional analysis, a branch of mathematics, an operator algebra is an algebra of continuous linear operators on a topological vector space, with the multiplication given by the composition of mappings.
