Representation Theory & Noncommutative Geometry
An AIM Research Community
This research community, sponsored by AIM and the NSF, brings together researchers to develop connections between representation theory, operator algebras and noncommutative geometry.
Current Organizers:
Monica Nevins (U. of Ottawa), Angela Pasquale (U. de Lorraine), and Haluk Şengün (U. of Sheffield)
Previous Organizers:
Pierre Clare (William & Mary), Nigel Higson (PennState) and Birgit Speh (Cornell U.)

Ongoing and Upcoming Activities
From January to March 2025, our activities will be centered around the IHP thematic trimester program (see our curated list of hybrid activities here). We will have special Joint AIM-IHP lectures on certain weeks, generally Tuesdays (daylight savings time headaches notwithstanding) at 10am New York, 3pm London, 4pm Paris. See you there!
