Conference: Facets of Noncommutative Geometry

该奖项为定于2022年6月11日至12日在伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校举行的题为“非对易几何的方面”的会议提供支持。这次会议的目的是汇集一群数学家的专业知识围绕着几何的扩展概念。研究这些几何的两个主要动机来源是量子物理学中的海森堡测不准原理和数学中的抽象代数。会议将为两个基本不同的研究小组提供一个环境，让他们聚在一起，交流思想，了解最新的发展。会议的一个中心目标是提供早期职业数学家的观点和进入这个令人兴奋和快速发展的领域的切入点。非对易几何是一个一般的观点，其中一个寻求应用工具，观点和直觉从几何到非对易代数结构，在没有直接的谱解释函数环。这种观点在许多背景下都非常富有成效，包括表示论、张量范畴、辛几何和量子场论，而这些背景下的不同群体之间往往没有直接的交流。会议将包括与会者谁可以阐明这一总体主题的不同方面。这次会议旨在提供一个独特的机会，以便交流意见和评估整个领域的状况。这次聚会旨在汇集早期职业研究人员，主要是研究生，博士后和早期教师，并向他们介绍了广阔的视野，并为形成新的联系和合作提供机会。不仅在申请过程中，而且在资助参与者和为传统上代表性不足的群体创造一个欢迎环境方面，都将注意多样性。会议将重点突出最近的发展，以激发下一代的非交换几何。有关会议的更多信息，请参阅https://publish.illinois.edu/facets-ncg-conf2022/.This奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估来支持。

This award provides support for a conference entitled "Facets of Noncommutative Geometry," scheduled for June 11-12, 2022 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The conference aims to bring together a group of mathematicians with expertise centered around an expanded notion of geometry. Two of the main sources of motivation for investigating these geometries are the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in quantum physics and abstract algebra in mathematics. The conference will provide a setting for two largely distinct groups of researchers to come together, exchange ideas, and learn about recent developments. A central aim of the conference is to provide early-career mathematicians perspective and an entry point into this exciting and fast-moving field.Noncommutative geometry is a general viewpoint in which one seeks to apply tools, perspectives, and intuition from geometry to noncommutative algebraic structures in the absence of a direct spectral interpretation as rings of functions. This viewpoint has been extremely fruitful in many settings, including representation theory, tensor categories, symplectic geometry, and quantum field theory, often without direct communication between the various groups. The conference will include participants who can illuminate different aspects of this overarching theme. The meeting is designed to provide a unique opportunity for an exchange of ideas and a stock-taking on the state of the field as a whole. The gathering is aimed at bringing together early-career researchers, primarily graduate students, postdocs and early-stage faculty, and introducing them to a broad vision and providing opportunities for forming new connections and collaborations. Attention will be paid to diversity, not only in the application process, but also in the funding of participants and creating a welcoming environment for traditionally underrepresented groups. The conference will focus on highlighting recent developments to inspire the next generation of noncommutative geometers.
