Noncommutative Structures in Mathematics and Physics
Month: July 2008
Date: July 22--26
Name: Noncommutative Structures in Mathematics and Physics
Location: Brussels, Belgium.
Description
Among the recent developments in the study of algebraic structures, three strongly interrelated trends seem to be outstanding: a quest for a more algebraic version of noncommutative geometry, generalizations of Hopf algebras as symmetry structures, and the program of categorification. A powerful complement to the latter is the idea of considering algebraic or physical structures on whole categories rather than on individual mathematical objects. The conference aims to relate progress in these directions stemming from work in different subfields of mathematics, including algebra, representation theory, algebraic geometry, operator algebras, and theoretical and mathematical physics.
