Igor V. Nikolaev – författare

This book covers the basics of noncommutative geometry (NCG) and its applications in topology, algebraic geometry, and number theory. The author takes up the practical side of NCG and its value for other areas of mathematics. A brief survey of the main parts of NCG with historical remarks, bibliography, and a list of exercises is included. The presentation is intended for graduate students and researchers with interests in NCG, but will also serve nonexperts in the field.

Noncommutative geometry studies an interplay between spatial forms and algebras with non-commutative multiplication. This book covers the key concepts of noncommutative geometry and its applications in topology, algebraic geometry, and number theory. Our presentation is accessible to the graduate students as well as nonexperts in the field. The second edition includes two new chapters on arithmetic topology and quantum arithmetic.
