A rigid framework for the Cartan calculus of Lie derivatives, inner derivations, functions, and forms is proposed. The construction employs a semi-direct product of two graded Hopf algebras, the respective super-extensions of the deformed…
This is an introductory set of lecture notes on quantum cosmology, given in 1995 to an audience with interests ranging from astronomy to particle physics. Topics covered: 1. Introduction: 1.1 Quantum cosmology and quantum gravity; 1.2 A…
This research notes is intended to provide a quick introduction to the subject. We expose a K-theoretic approach to study group C*-algebras: started in the elementary part, with one example of description of the structure of C*-algebras of…
The use of geometric invariants has recently played an important role in the solution of classification problems in non-commutative ring theory. We construct geometric invariants of non-commutative projectivizations, a significant class of…
Geometrical aspects of quantum computing are reviewed elementarily for non-experts and/or graduate students who are interested in both Geometry and Quantum Computation. In the first half we show how to treat Grassmann manifolds which are…
Following the guidelines of classical differential geometry the `building material' for the tensor calculus in non-commutative geometry is suggested. The algebraic account of moduli of vectors and covectors is carried out.
We consider the algebra of N x N matrices as a reduced quantum plane on which a finite-dimensional quantum group H acts. This quantum group is a quotient of U_q(sl(2,C)), q being an N-th root of unity. Most of the time we shall take N=3; in…
The central structure in various versions of noncommutative geometry is a differential calculus on an associative algebra. This is an analogue of the calculus of differential forms on a manifold. In this short review we collect examples of…
A new framework for noncommutative complex geometry on quantum homogeneous spaces is introduced. The main ingredients used are covariant differential calculi and Takeuchi's categorical equivalence for faithfully flat quantum homogeneous…
In this paper, we revise the concept of noncommutative vector fields introduced previously in Ref. [1,2], extending the framework, adding new results and clarifying the old ones. Using appropriate algebraic tools certain shortcomings in the…
We consider the space M of NxN matrices as a reduced quantum plane and discuss its geometry under the action and coaction of finite dimensional quantum groups (a quotient of U_q(SL(2)), q being an N-th root of unity, and its dual). We also…
A non-classical differential calculus on the quantum disc and cones is constructed and the associated integral is calculated.
This article is based on an invited talk given at the Workshop on Mathematical Physics Towards XXIst Century, held at Beer-Sheva, Israel in 1993. It contains an introduction to quantum gravity for mathematical physicists with an emphasis on…
I review some of my recent work on non-lorentzian geometry. I review the classification of kinematical Lie algebras and their associated Klein geometries. I then describe the Cartan geometries modelled on them and their characterisation in…
The first ``Convegno Informale su Quantum Groups'' was held in Florence from February 3 to 6, 1993. This Convegno was conceived as an informal meeting to bring together all the italian people working in the field of quantum groups and…
The differential calculus on the quantum Heisenberg group is conlinebreak structed. The duality between quantum Heisenberg group and algebra is proved.
These are detailed notes for a lecture on "Non-associative Algebraic Structures: Classification and Structure" which I presented as a part of my Agrega\c{c}\~ao em Matem\'atica e Applica\c{c}\~oes (University of Beira Interior, Covilh\~a,…
In this paper, we first introduce a quantum $n$-space with a cocommutative Hopf algebra structure. Then it is shown that to this quantum $n$-space there corresponds a derivation algebra of $\sigma$-twisted derivations related to some…
This text is an introduction to a few selected areas of Alain Connes' noncommutative geometry written for the volume of the school/conference "Noncommutative Geometry 2005" held at IPM Tehran. It is an expanded version of my lectures which…
