About the workshop

Noncommutative geometry (NCG) is a theory using algebra of operators to study a class of nonstandard spaces, initially arising from quantum mechanics.

Over the past few decades, it developed into an active research area with connections to many branches of mathematics and physics. This conference will bring together leading experts and early career researchers working in several streams of NCG, namely, C*-algebra, dynamics, K-theory, representation theory and mathematical physics, to promote the dissemination of novel research findings.

This conference is a great opportunity for research communications and collaborations between Australian and Chinese mathematicians, and between students and experts in this field.

Detailed program

Short talks

We have reserved spaces in our program for contributed talks. Early career researchers and students are very welcomed to submit your title and abstract. Topics of talks are open to all areas in pure mathematics.

Conference catering

There will be a welcome lunch on Monday. Tea, coffee and snacks will be provided during coffee breaks.

Conference dinner

The conference dinner has been scheduled at:

6:30pm, Wednesday, 20th December, 2017
Parlamento-Italian Cuisine Adelaide
140 North Terrace, Adelaide South Australia 5000

Conference participants are welcomed to bring family members (extra cost per person will apply). Please indicate if you will attend the conference dinner when filling out the registration form so the restaurant reservation can be made on time.

Registration

Form: Potential participants should register the conference before 1 Nov 2017. This is required so we can prepare for the conference guide and name tags.

Fee: Every conference participant will be charged a registration fee ($40 for AustMS members or $50 for general participants). The fee needs to be paid by in cash (Australian dollars) at the beginning of the conference. The income from the registration fee is budgeted for partial fund for the conference catering.
