Noncommutative Geometry, Index Theory and Representation Theory

Kyoto, 3-7 July 2023

The field of noncommutative geometry is evolving rapidly at the moment, finding new applications in representation theory and analysis on manifolds.  This international conference, organized in collaboration with the University of Kyoto, is aimed at recent advances in these and related fields:

• Index theory
• Representation theory
• Operator algebras
• Geometric analysis

The conference also presents an opportunity to honour the mathematical influence and achievements of Nigel Higson, on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

Young researchers are particularly encouraged to participate, including researchers from under-represented groups.   

The conference is only open to people who are registered via this website.  Please use the link on the left to register.  Registations will close on 29 June.
