The goal of these lectures is to present the few fundamentals of noncommutative geometry looking around its spectral approach. Strongly motivated by physics, in particular by relativity and quantum mechanics, Chamseddine and Connes have…
Scaling properties of Yang-Mills fields are used to show that fractal structures are expected to be present in system described by those theories. We show that the fractal structure leads to recurrence formulas that allow the determination…
In a previous paper we introduced a new `dimension spectrum', motivated by the Assouad dimension, designed to give precise information about the scaling structure and homogeneity of a metric space. In this paper we compute the spectrum…
The Cantor set complementary to the Devil's Staircase associated with the Circle Map has a fractal dimension d approximately equal to 0.87, a value that is universal for a wide range of maps, such results being of a numerical character. In…
The electrostatics properties of composite materials with fractal geometry are studied in the framework of fractional calculus. An electric field in a composite dielectric with a fractal charge distribution is obtained in the spherical…
In previous papers by A. Kameyama and by J. Kigami distances on fractals have been discussed having two different but similar properties. One property is that the maps defining the fractal are Lipschitz of prescribed constants less than 1,…
We consider the fragmentation process with mass loss and discuss self-similar properties of the arising structure both in time and space focusing on dimensional analysis. This exhibits a spectrum of mass exponents $\theta$, whose exact…
For each $k\ge 3$, we determine the dimensional threshold for planar fractal percolation to contain $k$ collinear points. In the critical case of dimension $1$, the largest linear slice of fractal percolation is a Cantor set of zero…
The fractal dimension of large-scale galaxy clustering has been demonstrated to be roughly $D_F \sim 2$ from a wide range of redshift surveys. If correct, this statistic is of interest for two main reasons: fractal scaling is an implicit…
In this paper we will extend the product of spectral triples to a product of semifinite spectral triples. We will prove that finite summability and regularity are preserved under taking products. Connes and Marcolli constructed for each…
Complex fractal dimensions, defined as poles of appropriate fractal zeta functions, describe the geometric oscillations in fractal sets. In this work, we show that the same possible complex dimensions in the geometric setting also govern…
Trace formulas appear in many forms in noncommutative geometry (NCG). In the first part of this thesis, we obtain results for asymptotic expansions of trace formulas like heat trace expansions by adapting the theory of Multiple Operator…
In this paper I explore a nonstandard formulation of Hausdorff dimension. By considering an adapted form of the counting measure formulation of Lebesgue measure, I prove a nonstandard version of Frostman's lemma and show that Hausdorff…
We study several fractal properties of the Weierstrass-type function \[ W(x)=\sum_{n=0} ^\infty \lambda (x) \lambda(\tau x) \cdots \lambda (\tau ^{n-1}x)\, g(\tau ^n x), \] where $\tau :[0,1)\to[0,1)$ is a cookie cutter map with possibly…
Using Monte Carlo simulations we study the distributions of the 3-block mass $N_3$ in 4d, 5d, and 6d percolation systems. Because the probability of creating large 3-blocks in these dimensions is very small, we use a ``go with the winners''…
In many low-dimensional dynamical systems transport coefficients are very irregular, perhaps even fractal functions of control parameters. To analyse this phenomenon we study a dynamical system defined by a piece-wise linear map and…
We investigate whether the identification between Connes' spectral distance in noncommutative geometry and the Monge-Kantorovich distance of order 1 in the theory of optimal transport - that has been pointed out by Rieffel in the…
Fractons are anyons classified into equivalence classes and they obey a specific fractal statistics. The equivalence classes are labeled by a fractal parameter or Hausdorff dimension $h$. We consider this approach in the context of the…
Fibonacci word fractals are a class of fractals that have been studied recently, though the word they are generated from is more widely studied in combinatorics. The Fibonacci word can be used to draw a curve which possesses…
We construct examples of one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators that illustrate the subtle nature of fractal continuity properties of spectral measures. First, we present half-line operators whose spectral measures have packing dimension…
