Virtual Topology and Functor Geometry

by Fred Van Oystaeyen

Overview

Intrinsically noncommutative spaces today are considered from the perspective of several branches of modern physics, including quantum gravity, string theory, and statistical physics. From this point of view, it is ideal to devise a concept of space and its geometry that is fundamentally noncommutative. Providing a clear introduction to noncommutat

Editorial Reviews

"This book has a special character. Its main theme is to describe development of new branches of non-commutative geometry on a different level of realizations, ranging from areas already fully developed to many different suggestions for possible future investigations. … the book is very inspiring and worth reading."
