We describe noncommutative geometric aspects of twisted deformations, in particular of the spheres in connes and landi 8 and in connes and dubois violette 7, by using the differential and integral calculus on these spaces that is covariant under the action of their corresponding quantum symmetry groups. Very basic noncommutative geometry department of mathematics. The existence of many natural spaces for which the classical settheoretic tools of analysis, such as measure theory, topology, calculus, and metric ideas lose their pertinence, but which correspond very naturally to a noncommutative algebra.

Of course a commutative ring is a division ring i it is a eld and the study of elds is a whole branch of algebra unto itself. Riemannian geometry framed as a noncommutative algebraic geometry of observables consider a set of n independent linear self adjoint operators, x, which form an abelian lie algebra of order n, where. We will not dwell too much on these reasons, and just mention the semiheuristic argument 1,2 which echoes the so called heisenberg microscope. This leads to the notion of moment map and of hamiltonian reduction in noncommutative symplectic geometry. The noncommutative algebras that appear in noncommutative geometry usually are obtained either as the result of a process called noncommutative quotient construction or by deformation quantization of some algebra of func tions on a classical space. The basic idea of noncommutative geometry is to view noncommutative algebras as coordinate rings of noncommutative spaces. Noncommutative algebraic geometry department of mathematics. Roughly speaking, in this research field, we study noncommutative algebras using ideas and techniques of algebraic geometry.
