Course Syllabus

Abstract

The students who participate in the seminar give talks on functional analytic aspects of noncommutative geometry. Talks devoted to noncommutative algebraic geometry and to “pure” functional analysis (preferably with an algebraic or geometric flavour) are also welcome. The topics of talks are usually taken from the literature, but sometimes the participants present their own results. Occasionally, talks are given by the seminar advisor or by an invited speaker.
Learning Objectives

Learning Objectives

  • Students will be introduced to some modern topics of noncommutative geometry, mostly from a functional-analytic perspective. Some related areas will also be discussed
Expected Learning Outcomes

Expected Learning Outcomes

  • Each student is supposed to learn a piece of theory (for example, a paper in a journal, or a preprint, or a series of papers/preprints, or a chapter in a book, etc.) related to the topic of the seminar, and to give a talk.
Course Contents

Course Contents

  • Quantum bounded symmteric domains and noncommutative complex analysis in the spirit of L. L. Vaksman.
  • Strict deformation quantization (M. Rieffel et al.).
  • Deformations of C*-algebras (in a broad sense).
  • Noncommutative complex analytic geometry (A. Polishchuk, A. Schwarz, P. Smith, M. Khalkhali, G. Landi, et al.).
