This is an overview of recent results aimed at developing a geometry of noncommutative tori with real multiplication, with the purpose of providing a parallel, for real quadratic fields, of the classical theory of elliptic curves with…
The "noncommutative geometry" of complex algebraic curves is studied. As first step, we clarify a morphism between elliptic curves, or complex tori, and C*-algebras T_t={u,v | vu=exp(2\pi it)uv}, or noncommutative tori. The main result says…
We survey some aspects of the theory of noncommutative manifolds focusing on the noncommutative analogs of two-dimensional tori and low-dimensional spheres. We are particularly interested in those aspects of the theory that link the…
In this paper, as a result of a theorem of Serre on congruence properties, a complete solution is given for an open question (see the text) presented recently by Kim, Koo and Park. Some further questions and results on similar types of…
In this paper, we develop a geometric approach to study derived tame finite dimensional associative algebras, based on the theory of non-commutative nodal curves.
It is shown that a $d$-dimensional classical SU(N) Yang-Mills theory can be formulated in a $d+2$-dimensional space, with the extra two dimensions forming a surface with non-commutative geometry. In this paper we present an explicit proof…
This paper is a very brief and gentle introduction to non-commutative geometry geared primarily towards physicists and geometers. It starts with a brief historical description of the motivation for non-commutative geometry and then goes on…
A one parameter set of noncommutative complex algebras is given. These may be considered deformation quantisation algebras. The commutative limit of these algebras correspond to the algebra of polynomial functions over a manifold or…
We give an overview on the metric aspect of noncommutative geometry, especially the metric interpretation of gauge fields via the process of "fluctuation of the metric". Connes' distance formula associates to a gauge field on a bundle P…
Algebraic curves have a discrete analogue in finite graphs. Pursuing this analogy we prove a Torelli theorem for graphs. Namely, we show that two graphs have the same Albanese torus if and only if the graphs obtained from them by…
In this article, we propose a way of seeing the noncommutative tori in the category of noncommutative motives. As an algebra, the noncommutative torus is lack the smoothness property required to define a noncomutative motive. Thus, instead…
We investigate field theories on the non-commutative torus upon varying theta, the parameter of non-commutativity. We argue that one should think of Morita equivalence as a symmetry of algebras describing the same space rather than of…
In this paper, we will introduce Quantum Toric Varieties which are (non-commutative) generalizations of ordinary toric varieties where all the tori of the classical theory are replaced by quantum tori. Quantum toric geometry is the…
We introduce a notion of Q-algebra that can be considered as a generalization of the notion of Q-manifold (a supermanifold equipped with an odd vector field obeying {Q,Q} =0). We develop the theory of connections on modules over Q-algebras…
Our understanding of the notion of curvature in a noncommutative setting has progressed substantially in the past ten years. This new episode in noncommutative geometry started when a Gauss-Bonnet theorem was proved by Connes and Tretkoff…
Non-commutative geometry has significantly contributed to quantum mechanics by providing mathematical tools to extract topological and geometrical information from these systems. This thesis explores the methods used by Jean Bellissard and…
We recast elliptic surfaces over the projective line in terms of the non-commutative tori and one-parameter families of the periodic continued fractions. The correspondence is used to study the Picard numbers, the ranks and the minimal…
We study the homogeneous coordinate rings of real multiplication noncommutative tori as defined by A. Polishchuk. Our aim is to understand how these rings give rise to an arithmetic structure on the noncommutative torus. We start by giving…
The theory of noncommutative geometry provides an interesting mathematical background for developing new physical models. In particular, it allows one to describe the classical Standard Model coupled to Euclidean gravity. However,…
We describe in geometric terms the map that is Gale dual to the linearisation map for quiver moduli spaces associated to noncommutative crepant resolutions in dimension three. This allows us to formulate Reid's recipe in this context in…
