Leiden Seminar on Noncommutative Geometry (and related topics)

This is the homepage for the NCG reading seminar at Leiden University. This seminar focuses on noncommutative structures in algebra, geometry, analysis, and physics.

The seminar is coorganized by Francesca Arici, Márton Hablicsek, Bram Mesland, and Jesse Vogel.

In the fall of 2021 we will focus on Deformation Quantization and Index Theory, following the book by Fedosov with the same title.

All talks take place in Snellius, Room 401.
