These Lectures are based on a course on noncommutative geometry given by the author in 2003 at the University of Chicago. The lectures contain some standard material, such as Poisson and Gerstenhaber algebras, deformations, Hochschild…
After an overview of noncommutative differential calculus, we construct parts of it explicitly and explain why this construction agrees with a fuller version obtained from the theory of operads.
We use bisection to provide an algebraic proof that the Chern form on the convolution algebra of an \'etale groupoid is closed.
This work applies the ideas of Alekseev and Meinrenken's Non-commutative Chern-Weil Theory to describe a completely combinatorial and constructive proof of the Wheeling Theorem. In this theory, the crux of the proof is, essentially, the…
We review some facts about bivariant Chern characters in Noncommutative Geometry and anomaly formulas in Quantum Field Theory.
The Chern number has been widely used to describe the topological properties of periodic structures in the momentum space. Here, we introduce a real-space spin Chern number for the optical near fields of finite-sized structures. This new…
We study the possibility of establishing the dual equivalence between the noncommutative Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory and the noncommutative self-dual theory. It turns to be that whereas in the commutative case the Maxwell-Chern-Simons…
We introduce a differential extension of algebraic K-theory of an algebra using Karoubi's Chern character. In doing so, we develop a necessary theory of secondary transgression forms as well as a differential refinement of the smooth…
To appear in Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, J.-P. Fran\c{c}oise, G. Naber and T.S. Tsou, eds., Elsevier, 2006. The article surveys the modern developments of noncommutative geometry in string theory.
We associate a noncommutative curve to a periodic, bipartite, planar dimer model with polygonal boundary. It determines the inverse Kasteleyn matrix and hence all correlations. It may be seen as a quantization of the limit shape…
Given a smooth action of a Lie group on a manifold, we give two constructions of the Chern character of an equivariant vector bundle in the cyclic cohomology of the crossed product algebra. The first construction associates a cycle to the…
In this paper we survey the results on the negativity of the Chern number of parameter ideals.
This paper investigates a variety of coarse homology theories and natural transformations between them. We in particular study the commutativity of a square relating analytical and topological transgressions with algebraic and homotopy…
Inspired by the foundational work of Bezrukavnikov and Chan \cite{BC24} on character sheaves for parahoric subgroups and an alternative interpretation of deep level Deligne-Lusztig characters in \cite{Nie_24}, we present a parallel but…
We determine the Chern characters of two projective modules over the fuzzy sphere and calculate the corresponding topological charges (Chern numbers). These turn out to have corrections - compared to the commutative limit - induced by the…
In a preceding paper [E.J.ofProb.34,860-892,(2006)], we proved a sewing lemma which was a key result for the study of Holder continuous functions. In this paper we give a non-commutative version of this lemma with some applications.
We prove recent conjectures of Chern concerning nonnegativity of a certain q-series related to parity bias in integer partitions.
Non-commutative crepant resolutions (NCCRs) are non-commutative analogues of the usual crepant resolutions that appear in algebraic geometry. In this paper we survey some results around NCCRs.

We show that the coefficient of the three-dimensional Chern-Simons action on the noncommutative plane must be quantized. Similar considerations apply in other dimensions as well.
