A compatible associative algebra is a vector space equipped with two associative multiplication structures that interact in a certain natural way. This article presents the classification of these algebras with dimension less than four, as…
Within the framework of Connes' noncommutative geometry, we define and study globally non-trivial (or topologically non-trivial) almost-commutative manifolds. In particular, we focus on those almost-commutative manifolds that lead to a…
We show that mapping class groups associated to all types of real algebraic curves are virtual duality groups. We also deduce some results about the orbifold homotopy groups of the moduli spaces of real algebraic curves. We achieve these…
The lattice definition of the two-dimensional topological quantum field theory [Fukuma, {\em et al}, Commun.~Math.~Phys.\ {\bf 161}, 157 (1994)] is generalized to arbitrary (not necessarily orientable) compact surfaces. It is shown that…
In this paper we study the moduli space of 4-dimensional complex associative algebras. We use extensions to compute the moduli space, and then give a decomposition of this moduli space into strata consisting of complex projective orbifolds,…
We introduce a notion of the noncommutative integrability within a framework of contact geometry.
Noncommutative domain algebras are noncommutative analogues of the algebras of holomorphic functions on domains of $\C^n$ defined by holomorphic polynomials, and they generalize the noncommutative Hardy algebras. We present here a complete…
Let $L$ be a finite-dimensional non-abelian Lie algebra with the center $Z(L)$. In this paper, we define a non-commuting graph associated with $L$ as the graph whose vertex set is the projective space of the quotient algebra $L/Z(L)$, and…
These lectures notes are an intoduction for physicists to several ideas and applications of noncommutative geometry. The necessary mathematical tools are presented in a way which we feel should be accessible to physicists. We illustrate…
Let A=k+A_1+A_2.... be a connected graded, noetherian k-algebra that is generated in degree one over an algebraically closed field k. Suppose that the graded quotient ring Q(A) has the form Q(A)=k(Y)[t,t^{-1},sigma], where sigma is an…
Generalizing differential geometry of smooth vector bundles formulated in algebraic terms of the ring of smooth functions, its derivations and the Koszul connection, one can define differential operators, differential calculus and…
We describe how noncommutative function algebras built from noncommutative functions in the sense of \cite{K-VV2014} may be studied as subalgebras of homogeneous $C^{*}$-algebras.
We call an operator algebra A {\em reversible} if A with reversed multiplication is also an abstract operator algebra (in the modern operator space sense). This class of operator algebras is intimately related to the {\em symmetric operator…
We make some remarks on deformations over non-commutative base. We describe the base algebra of versal deformations using $T^1$ and $T^2$.
We review several techniques that twist an algebra's multiplicative structure. We first consider twists by an automorphism, also known as Zhang twists, and we relate them to 2-cocycle twists of certain bialgebras. We then outline the…
A unicellular map is the embedding of a connected graph in a surface in such a way that the complement of the graph is a topological disk. In this paper we present a bijective link between unicellular maps on a non-orientable surface and…
We study the moduli space of congruence classes of isometric surfaces with the same mean curvature in 4-dimensional space forms. Having the same mean curvature means that there exists a parallel vector bundle isometry between the normal…
Boundary points on the moduli space of pointed curves corresponding to collisions of marked points have modular interpretations as degenerate curves. In this paper, we study degenerations of orbifold projective curves corresponding to…
Sequences of actions do not commute.. For example, the tick of a clock and the measurement of a position do not commute with one another, since the position will have moved to the next position after the tick. We adopt non-commutative…
An introduction is given to some selected aspects of noncommutative geometry. Simple examples in this context are provided by finite sets and lattices. As an application, it is explained how the nonlinear Toda lattice and a discrete time…
