Topological Algebras and their Applications

Proceedings of the 8th International Conference of Topological Algebras and Their Applications (ICTAA-2014), held on May 26-30, 2014 in Playa de Villas de Mar Beach, dedicated to the memory of Anastasios Mallios (Athens, Greece). This series of conferences started in 1999 in Tartu, Estonia and were subsequently held in Rabat, Moroco (2000), Oulu, Finland (2001), Oaxaca, Mexico (2002), Bedlewo, Poland (2003), Athens, Greece (2005) and Tartu, Estonia (2008 and 2013).

The topics of the conference include all areas of mathematics, connected with (preferably general) topological algebras and their applications, including all kinds of topological-algebraic structures as topological linear spaces, topological rings, topological modules, topological groups and semigroups; bornological-algebraic structures such as bornological linear spaces, bornological algebras, bornological groups, bornological rings and modules; algebraic and topological K-theory; topological module bundles, sheaves and others.
