This is an introduction to: (1) the enumerative geometry of rational curves in equivariant symplectic resolutions, and (2) its relation to the structures of geometric representation theory. Written for the 2015 Algebraic Geometry Summer…
This review paper is a continuation of hep-th/0012145 and it deals primarily with noncommutative ${\mathbb R}^{d}$ spaces. We start with a discussion of various algebras of smooth functions on noncommutative ${\mathbb R}^{d}$ that have…
The aim of this review is to present an overview over available models and approaches to non-commutative gauge theory. Our main focus thereby is on gauge models formulated on flat Groenewold-Moyal spaces and renormalizability, but we will…
I give a summary of the progress made on using the elegant construction of Alain Connes noncommutaive geometry to explore the nature of space-time at very high energies. In particular I show that by making very few natural and weak…
Spacetime geometry is twisted (deformed) into noncommutative spacetime geometry, where functions and tensors are now star-multiplied. Consistently, spacetime diffeomorhisms are twisted into noncommutative diffeomorphisms. Their deformed Lie…
This paper explores relations between two separate worlds. They are the algebraic geometry of Alexander Grothendieck and the automorphic representation theory of Robert Langlands. The relation between them would be a very broad example of…
Following the general principles of noncommutative geometry, it is possible to define a metric on the space of pure states of the noncommutative algebra generated by the coordinates. This metric generalizes the usual Riemannian one. We…
In this article we further the study of non-commutative motives. Our main result is the construction of a simple model, given in terms of infinite matrices, for the suspension in the triangulated category of non-commutative motives. As a…
We introduce a theory of motivic cohomology for quasi-compact quasi-separated schemes, which generalises the construction of Elmanto--Morrow in the case of schemes over a field. Our construction is non-$\mathbb{A}^1$-invariant in general,…
In this note, we introduce the first basics on Grothendieck rings for incidence geometries as a new motivic way and tool to study synthetic geometry. In this first instance, we concentrate on generalized quadrangles and related geometries.…
This is a survey article on the currently very active research area of free (=non-commutative) real algebra and geometry. We first review some of the important results from the commutative theory, and then explain similarities and…
We argue that there should exist a "noncommutative Fourier transform" which should identify functions of noncommutative variables (say, of matrices of indeterminate size) and ordinary functions or measures on the space of paths. Some…
Enumerative Geometry is concerned with the number of solutions to a structured system of polynomial equations, when the structure comes from geometry. Enumerative real algebraic geometry studies real solutions to such systems, particularly…
We give an overview of the applications of noncommutative geometry to physics. Our focus is entirely on the conceptual ideas, rather than on the underlying technicalities. Starting historically from the Heisenberg relations, we will explain…
We review some recent results and conjectures saying that, roughly speaking, periodic cyclic homology of a smooth non-commutative algebraic variety should carry all the additional "motivic" structures possessed by the usual de Rham…
The role of the gauge invariance in noncommutative field theory is discussed. A basic introduction to noncommutative geometry and noncommutative field theory is given. Background invariant formulation of Wilson lines is proposed. Duality…
We investigate the Brauer class of the endomorphism algebra of the motive attached to a non-CM form. The ramification of the algebra is shown in many cases to be controlled by the normalized slopes of the form.
For an oriented cohomology theory A and a relative cellular space X, we decompose the A-motive of X into a direct sum of twisted motives of the base spaces. We also obtain respective decompositions of the A-cohomology of X. Applying them,…
A general definition of a linear connection in noncommutative geometry has been recently proposed. Two examples are given of linear connections in noncommutative geometries which are based on matrix algebras. They both possess a unique…
