Recent progress in string theory has led to a reformulation of quantum-group polynomial invariants for knots and links into new polynomial invariants whose coefficients can be understood in topological terms. We describe in detail how to…
The aim of this thesis is to study the isopectral deformations from the point of view of Alain Connes' noncommutative geometry. This class of quantum spaces constituts a curved space generalisation of Moyal planes and noncommutative tori.…
We study a three-dimensional differential calculus on the standard Podles quantum two-sphere S^2_q, coming from the Woronowicz 4D+ differential calculus on the quantum group SU_q(2). We use a frame bundle approach to give an explicit…
We propose a skein model for the quantum cluster algebras of surface type with coefficients. We introduce a skein algebra $\mathscr{S}_{\Sigma,\mathbb{W}}^{A}$ of a walled surface $(\Sigma,\mathbb{W})$, and prove that it has a quantum…
One of von Neumann's motivations for developing the theory of operator algebras and his and Murray's 1936 classification of factors was the question of possible decompositions of quantum systems into independent parts. For quantum systems…
Through the example of the quantum symplectic 4-sphere, we discuss how the notion of twisted spectral triple fits into the framework of quantum homogeneous spaces.
This paper extends the notion of a spectral triple to a relative spectral triple, an unbounded analogue of a relative Fredholm module for an ideal $J\triangleleft A$. Examples include manifolds with boundary, manifolds with conical…
A semifinite spectral triple for an algebra canonically associated to canonical quantum gravity is constructed. The algebra is generated by based loops in a triangulation and its barycentric subdivisions. The underlying space can be seen as…
We introduce various notions of quantum symmetry in a directed or undirected multigraph with no isolated vertex and explore relations among them. If the multigraph is single edged (that is, a simple graph where loops are allowed), all our…
The works of R. Descartes, I. M. Gelfand and A. Grothendieck have convinced us that commutative rings should be thought of as rings of functions on some appropriate (commutative) spaces. If we try to push this notion forward we reach the…
We construct a quantum statistical mechanical system which generalizes the Bost-Connes system to imaginary quadratic fields K of arbitrary class number and fully incorporates the explict class field theory for such fields. This system…
We construct an additive category where objects are embedded graphs in the 3-sphere and morphisms are geometric correspondences given by 3-manifolds realized in different ways as branched covers of the 3-sphere, up to branched cover…
We introduce a three-dimensional quantum field theory with an infinite-dimensional symmetry, realized explicitly through a centrally extended affine graded Lie algebra. This symmetry is a direct three-dimensional generalization of the…
Noncommutative geometry provides a framework, via the construction of spectral triples, for the study of the geometry of certain classes of fractals. Many fractals are constructed as natural limits of certain sets with a simpler structure:…
We introduce a trilinear functional of differential one-forms for a finitely summable regular spectral triple with a noncommutative residue. We demonstrate that for a canonical spectral triple over a closed spin manifold it recovers the…
The configuration space of a non-linear sigma model is the space of maps from one manifold to another. This paper reviews the authors' work on non-linear sigma models with target a homogeneous space. It begins with a description of the…
This paper is the the third part of a series of paper whose aim is to use of the framework of \emph{twisted spectral triples} to study conformal geometry from a noncommutive geometric viewpoint. In this paper we reformulate the inequality…
We present a physical interpretation of the doubling of the algebra, which is the basic ingredient of the noncommutative spectral geometry, developed by Connes and collaborators as an approach to unification. We discuss its connection to…
The past few years have seen a revived interest in quantum geometrical characterizations of band structures due to the rapid development of topological insulators and semi-metals. Although the metric tensor has been connected to many…
We review recent progress in the analytic study of random matrix models suggested by noncommutative geometry. One considers fuzzy spectral triples where the space of possible Dirac operators is assigned a probability distribution. These…
