NCG&T
Joint working group in noncommutative geometry and topology of Charles University, the Institute of Mathematics of the Czech Academy of Sciences, and the Czech Technical University in Prague
Welcome to NCG&T Prague
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.

Seminars
Our research seminar takes place every Tuesday at 16:00.
Our working seminar takes place every Friday at 15:00.
21 March 2023: Światosław Gal, Vratislavska Univerzita.
Światosław Gal. Semibounded cohomology. This talk will take place in the blue seminar room, back building Žitná 25, and on Zoom. We will introduce a natural filtration on the bar-complex of a discrete group. We will examine cohomology of intermediate subcomplexes with emphasis on one-bonded cochains and relate them with d-bounded classes (in the sense…
7 March 2023: Eduard Vilalta, UA Barcelona
Eduard Vilalta. Soft elements in a C*-algebra. This talk will take place in the blue seminar room, back building Žitná 25, and on Zoom. The family of elements whose Cuntz class is soft plays an important role in the study of (sufficiently noncommutative) C*-algebras.I will begin the talk by recalling what these elements are and…
28 February 2023: Anna Duwenig, KU Leuven.
Anna Duwenig. The Zappa–Szép product of a Fell bundle by a groupoid. This talk will take place in the blue seminar room, back building Žitná 25, and on Zoom. The Zappa–Szép (ZS) product originated as a generalization of the semi-direct product of groups. Keeping in mind the relationship of such semi-direct products to crossed products…
