Title: Classifying multiplier algebras of Nevanlinna-Pick spaces

Abstract: Multiplier algebras of Nevanlinna-Pick spaces are a class of non-selfadjoint operator algebras which have attracted considerable attention in recent years. The investigation of the classification problem for these algebras was initiated by Davidson, Ramsey and Shalit. I will report on the current state of this problem and talk about recent work which uses a somewhat different perspective on these algebras. In particular, this includes a complete classification result for a certain class of multiplier algebras. Moreover, I will talk about joint work with Martino Lupini in which we study the complexity of this classification problem from the point of view of Borel complexity theory.
