Noncommutative Geometry
Time: 15:30
Speaker: Andrzej Sitarz (Institute of Physics, Jagiellonian University (Warsaw))
Title: "(Colloquium) The Moyal Sphere"
Room: MC 107

Abstract: The Moyal plane is usually considered as a deformation of the flat plane, however, the algebra could equally well describe a compact noncommutative manifold. I shall demonstrate that there exists a family of metrics on the Moyal "plane" which have a constant scalar curvature thus yielding yet another quantum sphere.
