Thematic Program on Noncommutative Geometry and Quantum Groups - SISSA

[Emanuele Tuillier Illingworth]

Thematic Program on Noncommutative Geometry and Quantum Groups,
International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), Trieste, Italy,
June 20-30, 2006
supported by the Central European Initiative and by PRIN "Sintesi".

Topics: relation between noncommutative manifolds and quantum groups,
with emphasis on the construction of principal and associated bundles
with connections (gauge fields) and of spectral triples (in particular
the Dirac operators) on quantum groups and their homogeneous spaces,
and applications in mathematical physics.

Structure: The first part (21-23 June) will be devoted to seminar sessions.
During the last week of June, besides seminars and discussion sessions,
two mini-cycles of lectures are planned.

Participants: F. Bonechi (Firenze), N. Ciccoli* (Perugia), G. Fiore 
(Napoli), R. Giachetti* (Firenze), P.M. Hajac (IMPAN, Warsaw), F. Lizzi* 
(Napoli), T. Maszczyk (Warsaw), C. Pagani (Swansea), P. Soltan (Warsaw), 
W. van Suijlekom (Bonn), M. Tarlini (Firenze), B. Zielinski (Lodz);
and from Trieste: U. Bruzzo, L. Cirio, F. D'Andrea, L. Dabrowski, G. Landi,
C. Reina, A. Tanzini, E. Wagner, A. Zampini
