Noncommutative Geometry is one of the most deep and vital research subjects of present-day Mathematics. Its development, mainly due to Alain Connes, is providing an increasing number of applications and deeperinsights for instance in Foliations, K-Theory, Index Theory, Number Theory but also in Quantum Physics of elementary particles. The purpose of the Summer School in Martina Franca was to offer a fresh invitation to the subjectand closely related topics; the contributions in this volume include the four main lectures, cover advanced developments and are delivered by prominent specialists.

This English version of the path-breaking French book on this subject gives the definitive treatment of the revolutionary approach to measure theory, geometry, and mathematical physics developed by Alain Connes. Profusely illustrated and invitingly written, this book is ideal for anyone who wants to know what noncommutative geometry is, what it can do, or how it can be used in various areas of mathematics, quantization, and elementary particles and fields.

• First full treatment of the subject and its applications
• Written by the pioneer of this field
• Broad...

Was ist die Natur mathematischer Objekte? Existieren sie unabh{ngig vom Gehirn des Menschen oder sind sie das Produkt der Gehirnaktivit{t? Kann schlie lich echte k}nstliche Intelligenz aus unbelebter Materie entstehen? Diese und weitere bis hin zur Ethik auftretende Fragen werden in Dialogform dynamisch von zwei hervorragenden Fachleuten der Mathematik und der Neurowissenschaften in diesem Buch diskutiert. Diese Darstellungsform soll den Leser anregen, selbst zu dem bis auf Plato zur}ckgehenden Problemkreis nachzudenken. Daf}r relevante Erkenntnisse der modernen mathematischen und...

"Visions in Mathematics - Towards 2000" was one of the most remarkable mathematical meetings in recent years. It was held in Tel Aviv from August 25th to September 3rd, 1999, and united some of the leading mathematicians worldwide. The goals of the conference were to discuss the importance, the methods, the past and the future of mathematics as we enter the 21st century and to consider the connection between mathematics and related areas.

The aims of the conference are reflected in the present set of survey articles, documenting the state of art and future prospects in many branches...

This volume contains the proceedings of the conference "Casimir Force, Casimir Operators and the Riemann Hypothesis - Mathematics for Innovation in Industry and Science" held in November 2009 in Fukuoka (Japan). The motive for the conference was the celebration of the 100th birthday of Casimir and the 150th birthday of the Riemann hypothesis.

The conference focused on the following topics:

• Casimir operators in harmonic analysis and representation theory
• Number theory, in particular zeta functions and cryptography
• Casimir force in physics and its relation with...

This book gets to the heart of science by asking a fundamental question about its essence: what is the true nature of space and time? Both defy modern physics, and scientists find themselves continually searching for answers. This unique volume brings together world leaders in cosmology, particle physics, quantum gravity, mathematics, philosophy and theology, to provide fresh insights into the deep structure of space and time. In an attempt to understand the question, subjects ranging from dark matter to the philosophical and theological implications of spacetime are covered, ensuring that...
