Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around identifying useful resources for learning about non-commutative geometry, including introductory materials and related literature. The scope includes foundational concepts and references for further exploration.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests links and explanations to begin studying non-commutative geometry.
  • Another participant provides several links to academic papers and resources, including introductory texts and bibliographies related to non-commutative geometry.
  • A third participant expresses gratitude for the provided resources.
  • A fourth participant shares a personal collection of bibliography on non-commutative geometry and offers assistance to others in gathering similar resources.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the usefulness of the shared resources, but there is no explicit consensus on the best starting point or resource.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not address the depth or quality of the resources provided, nor does it clarify the prerequisites for understanding non-commutative geometry.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in learning about non-commutative geometry, including students, researchers, and educators in mathematics and theoretical physics.

I'm asking for some useful links about non-commutitative geometry: some basics, related materials, anything. Something to start the subject with. Any explanations welcome as well.

Thanks a lot - this is what I needed
 
for the first ten years, I collected a bibliography table here.

(By the way, it someone from the perimeter institute needs a bit of help collecting this kind of bibliography, just email me [to @unizar.es] :-)
