NONCOMMUTATIVE GEOMETRY AND GEOMETRY OVER THE FIELD WITH ONE
ELEMENT
May 15 to May 18, 2008
The purpose of the workshop is to explore
several aspects connected with the potential
relations between Noncommutative Geometry and the geometry over the
field with one element F1. The series of advances made in
Arakelov's geometry
in the last several years revealed
interesting new relations to $p$-adic analysis, motives, dynamical
systems and noncommutative geometry. On the other hand, recent results
in noncommutative geometry have shown that the thermodynamics of
noncommutative spaces allows to define a notion of points for such spaces
which bears
striking analogies with the ``points over the algebraic closure of
the field F1.'' This workshop will focus on the recent
developments in both fields and their relations with zeta functions.
This workshop is financed with funds provided by the NSF-FRG grant
0652164
``Noncommutative Geometry and Number Theory'' of the four organizers.
A small number of experts who have been working on these
topics will deliver expository talks and/or present
results which are connected with the main themes of the workshop. The
participants, that will also include postdocs and graduate students
working in connected areas, will be encouraged to exchange ideas and hold
informal topical discussions.
People participating in the annual spring institute on Noncommutative
Geometry and Operator Algebras from May 5 to May 14, 2008, are welcome
to participate in this workshop as well. In particular, we encourage the
graduate students and young postdocs to attend.
