noncommutative Fourier transform

At the noncommutative algebra program in MSRI 1999/2000, Mikhail Kapranov gave an intriguing talk Noncommutative neighborhoods and noncommutative Fourier transform and over the years I’ve watched the video of this talk a number of times. The first part of the talk is about his work on Noncommutative geometry based on commutator expansions and as I’ve once worked through it this part didn’t present problems. On the other hand, I’ve never understood much from the second part of the talk which claims to relate these noncommutative formal neighborhoods to noncommutative Fourier transforms. The string coffee table has a post Kapranov and Getzler on Higher Stuff linking to two recent talks by Kapranov on noncommutative Fourier transforms at the Streetfest. Marni Sheppeard made handwritten notes available. I definitely should find the time to get through them and have another go at the Kapranov-video…
