Welcome to NCG&T Prague
STATEMENT ON THE WAR IN UKRAINE
What is noncommutative geometry and topology? The idea stems from the Gelfand theorem which states that the category of compact Hausdorff spaces and commutative C*-algebras are dual. If we drop the condition of commutativity from our C*-algebras, we arrive at the notion of a noncommutative topological space. This can be carried further into the realm of noncommutative of geometry by equipping *-algebras with geometric structures.
Our research focusses on both quantum algebraic and operator algebraic aspects of noncommutative geometry and topology. This includes research in Hopf algebras, quantum groups, and noncommutative complex geometry, while on the operator algebra side, we study C*-algebras, with particular focus on C*-algebras arising from dynamical constructions such as minimal actions, groupoids, and semigroups.
Partially supported by GAČR project 20-17488Y Applications of C*-algebra classification: dynamics, geometry, and their quantum analogues and PRIMUS grant Spectral Noncommutative Geometry of Quantum Flag Manifolds.
