Dear All,
      
Kindly be reminded that today, 2 March, the  ICTP Colloquium by
          Prof. Alain Connes on "Irreducible Representations of the
          Higher Heisenberg Relation and Pati-Salam Model Coupled to
          Gravity" is starting now in the Budinich Lecture Hall, LB,
        at 16:30 hrs.
        
        Abstract: A problem purely motivated by how geometry emerges
        from the quantum formalism gives rise to a slightly
        noncommutative structure and a spectral model of gravity coupled
        with matter which fits with experimental knowledge. 
      
Biosketch: French mathematician Alain Connes is a professor at the Collège de France, IHES, and a Distinguished Professor at Ohio State University, USA. He is the recipient of mathematics’ top award, the Fields Medal (1982), as well as the Crafoord Prize (2001)
