noncommutative bookmarks

At last, some excitement about noncommutative geometry in the blogosphere.

From what I deduce from reading the first posts, Arup Pal set up a new blog called Noncommutative Geometry and subsequently handed it over to Masoud Khalkhali who then got Alain Connes to post on it who, in turn, is asking people to submit posts, such as todays post by David Goss.

Somehow, most people refer to the Noncommutative Geometry blog as “Alain Connes’ blog” (for example Doctor Gero, Not Even Wrong, the n-category cafe and possibly many others).

David Corfield over at the n-category cafe stops short of suggesting to rename (by analogy) NeverEndingBooks into Kontsevich’s blog

A new blog Noncommutative Geometry has begun, which appears to be of the Connesian variety. (Connes himself has already commented there.) We mentioned a couple of weeks ago that there are different flavours of noncommutative geometry. The Kontsevichian variety, nongeometry, finds its blog voice in Lieven Le Bruyn’s NeverEndingBooks. It would be interesting to see some interaction.

I don’t think I will opt for a dialectic response to the Noncommutative Geometry Blog, although I realize this would result in more enjoyable reading for some of you…

For starters, I’ve signed up to another flagship of noncommutative differential geometry : noncommutativegeometry.net, though it is unclear to me what action (if any) is going on over there.

Further, I plan to move my talks at the master class noncommutative geometry to the virtual lecture room of this blog, hoping to get the desired interaction. We’ll start later this week and the pace will be pretty easy going. A tentative title might be “Anabelian versus Noncommutative Geometry”.
