Noncommutative Geometry at Fields Institute, May 2008

这个建议的目的是支持美国研究生/博士后和美国演讲者参加非交换几何研讨会和加拿大算子代数及其应用研讨会。 数学科学的领域研究所将主办一个非交换几何研讨会在2008年5月27日至31日，并在2008年5月20日至28日在加拿大算子代数及其应用研讨会。 非交换几何是一种专门设计用于处理“几何对象”的数学理论，其坐标不交换，但在数学和物理中自然发生。非对易几何在过去十年左右的时间里经历了蓬勃的发展。它已经在核心数学和数学物理的几个不同领域的许多令人兴奋的新发展的来源。这些会议的主要目标是突出非对易几何最重要的最新进展，以确定新的新兴方向，并帮助研究生/博士后导航到非对易几何的前沿。

AbstractYuThe purpose of this proposal is to support US graduate students/postdocs and US speakers to participate in the Noncommutative Geometry Workshop and the Canadian Symposium on Operator Algebras and Their Applications. The Fields Institute of Mathematical Sciences will host a Noncommutative Geometry Workshop during May 27-31, 2008, and the Canadian Symposium on Operator Algebras and Their Applications during May 20-28, 2008. Noncommutative Geometry is a mathematical theory specifically designed to handle "geometric objects", whose coordinates do not commute but which do occur naturally in both mathematics and physics. Noncommutative Geometry has undergone vigorous growth in the last decade or so. It has been the source of many exciting new developments in several different fields of both core mathematics and mathematical physics. The main goal of these meetings is to highlight the most significant recent advances in Noncommutative Geometry, to identify new emerging directions, and to help graduate students/postdocs to navigate to the frontier of Noncommutative Geometry.
