This workshop will explore current themes in noncommutative geometry, including topics that lie at the interfaces of noncommutative geometry with Riemannian geometry, sub-Riemannian geometry, mathematical physics, random matrix theory, representation theory, cyclic homology, number theory and arithmetic geometry. The workshop will feature Alain Connes' series of 3 Coxeter Lectures with the title From rings of operators to noncommutative geometry, as well as a minicourse of 3 lectures by Eckhard Meinrenken on Symplectic geometry of the moduli space of hyperbolic 0-metrics. In addition to plenary talks, time will be reserved early in the week for contributions from graduate students and other beginning researchers.
Some funding has been set aside to provide (modest) travel grants to young researchers who wish to participate in the meeting. Those seeking such funding should contact the organizers as soon as possible.
