Affine noncommutative geometry
Résumé
This is an introduction to noncommutative geometry, from an algebraic and probabilistic viewpoint. The spaces $\mathbb R^N,\mathbb C^N$ have no free analogues in the operator algebra sense, but the corresponding unit spheres $S^{N-1}_\mathbb R,S^{N-1}_\mathbb C$ do have free analogues $S^{N-1}_{\mathbb R,+},S^{N-1}_{\mathbb C,+}$. There are many examples of real algebraic submanifolds $X\subset S^{N-1}_{\mathbb R,+},S^{N-1}_{\mathbb C,+}$, some of which are of Riemannian flavor, coming with a Haar integration functional $\int:C(X)\to\mathbb C$, that we will study here. We will mostly focus on the free geometry, but we will discuss as well some related geometries, called easy, completing the picture formed by the 4 main geometries, namely classical/free, real/complex.
