Noncommutativity at the Interface of Topology, Geometry and Analysis

Bologna, Italy

June 24 - 28, 2024

Noncommutativity is a broad term that occurs in many areas of mathematics. Recently, there have been major developments around noncommutative phenomena related to all fundamental aspects of mathematics. The aim of the conference is to bring together experts in these diverse areas to share new ideas, discuss major recent advances and propose possible future directions.
