These lectures notes are an intoduction for physicists to several ideas and applications of noncommutative geometry. The necessary mathematical tools are presented in a way which we feel should be accessible to physicists. We illustrate applications to Yang-Mills, fermionic and gravity models, notab

โฆ Synopsis
An introduction to several ideas & applications of noncommutative geometry. It starts with a not necessarily commutative but associative algebra which is thought of as the algebra of functions on some virtual noncommutative space.

These notes arose from a series of introductory seminars on noncommutative geometry the author gave at the University of Trieste. They are mainly an introduction to Connes' noncommutative geometry and could serve as a "first aid kit" before one ventures into the beautiful but bewildering landscape o
Since the first edition of this well-known text was published in 1982, significant progress has been made in the local theory of Banach Spaces. This second edition has therefore been brought up to date by the addition of a completely new section devoted to this topic, as well as various other revisi
This is an introduction to noncommutative geometry, with special emphasis on those cases where the structure algebra, which defines the geometry, is an algebra of matrices over the complex numbers. Applications to elementary particle physics are also discussed. This second edition is thoroughly revi
This is the first existing volume that collects lectures on this important and fast developing subject in mathematics. The lectures are given by leading experts in the field and the range of topics is kept as broad as possible by including both the algebraic and the differential aspects of noncommut
