From Differential Geometry To Non Commutative Geometry And Topology

Download or read book From Differential Geometry to Non-commutative Geometry and Topology written by Neculai S. Teleman and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-11-10 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to provide a friendly introduction to non-commutative geometry. It studies index theory from a classical differential geometry perspective up to the point where classical differential geometry methods become insufficient. It then presents non-commutative geometry as a natural continuation of classical differential geometry. It thereby aims to provide a natural link between classical differential geometry and non-commutative geometry. The book shows that the index formula is a topological statement, and ends with non-commutative topology.
